Fat Man from New Orleans Lyrics – Michael Kelley
Singer: Michael Kelley
Title: Fat Man from New Orleans
Once I knew a fat man from New Orleans
Who sat down in my chair and said,
“Mister, won’t you help me?
Something has upset me;
I wish I was dead!”
Now that fat man from New Orleans
Worshipped the dollar bill.
Life was so unhappy, he got up off his butt
And moved from Louisville.
Got a girlfriend up in Georgia,
Got another one in Mobile.
Couldn’t get ’em with his charms
Or the lovin’ in his arms,
But you know the dollar will – –
Good ole dollar bill.
He had everything to live for –
A good home and lots of wealth.
He could buy anything he wanted –
From fine cigars to his health.
Liked to drink his bourbon –
Always wore a smile.
All the people said that they liked him real well –
Go and visit him once in awhile – –
Liked to see the fat man smile.
(“Smile for ’em boy!”)
You know those who seem most happy
Sometimes are not happy at all.
And that fat man from New Orleans
Climbed up on his house
And jumped off the highest wall.
The whole town saw him fall.
Once I knew a fat man from New Orleans
Who came to me and said –
“Man, won’t you help me?
Something has upset me.
I wish I was dead.”
The fat man is dead!
