aka "Once I Had a Fortune" Old-Time breakdown. It is found in western North Carolina and southwest Virginia, but has become particularly identified with Galax/Hillsville, southwestern Virginia area, style bands. Occasionally performed with lyrics that start -
Oh once I had a fortune, I put it in my trunk, I lost it all a-gamblin' one night when I was drunk. Chorus: Fortune I had it, fortune I lost it, Fortune I lost it one night when I was drunk.
