Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire

Spent all my money, I didn't care

Took all my friends out for a mighty good time

Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low

I didn't have any friend, I had nowhere to go

I get my hands on a dollar again

I'm gonna hold on to it till that eagle grins

Because

Nobody knows you

When you're down and out

In my pocket, not one penny

And as for friends,

Well, I don't have any

If I ever get on my feet again

Everybody wants to be my old long-lost friend

Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt

Nobody knows you when you're down and out

Oh, when you're down and out

So, if I ever get on my feet again

Everybody wants to be my old long-lost friend

Said it's kind of strange, without a doubt

Nobody knows you when you're down and out

I mean when you're down and out

When you're down and out
