My friend she told me such a story but she didnÂ’t know what I knew
I laughed with my friend when she got to the end
I knew we were laughing at you

She told me that you made some money and you got yourself frames on the wall
People come by and they look at your face
And they say itÂ’s the fairest of all

Of course you protest
ThatÂ’s what you do best
YouÂ’re modest and shy to the end

YouÂ’re watching them as theyÂ’re looking at you
And you know it was money well spent

She told me youÂ’d given up drinking to be with somebody you knew
And you tried to get into the bible
But it never got into you

YouÂ’ve still got some loyal disciples I suppose that IÂ’m one of the few
I shouldnÂ’t have laughed Cause I mean you no harm
But my friend got to me before you

And next time I see you IÂ’ll be pleased to see you
I hope youÂ’ll be pleased to see me
IÂ’ll visit your picture I wonÂ’t have the nerve
To tell them that theyÂ’ve got you all wrong
