It's a Long Way Down from Riches to Rags

(Billy Walker - Mary Ann Meier - Edna Henderson)



It's a long way down from riches to rags

But if you can wear a cotton dress with pride

Then come on down from riches to rags

If a poor man's love can't keep you satisfied.



Before you take my hand and tell your other man goodbye

Make sure you want to give up all the things that he can't buy

If you want my love there's no turning back

It's a long way down from riches to rags.

Oh, before you take my hand and tell your other man goodbye

Make sure you want to give up all the things that he can't buy

If you want my love there's no turning back

It's a long way down from riches to rags.



It's a long way down from riches to rags...
