Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire

Spendin' my money, I didn't care

I carried my friends out for a good time

Buyin' bootleg liquor, champagne and wine

When I begin to fall so low

I didn't have a friend and no place to go

So if I ever get my hands on a dollar again

I'm gonna hold on to it till them eagles grin

Nobody knows you when you down and out

In my pocket, not one penny

And my friends, I haven't any

But if I ever get on my feet again

Then I'll meet my long lost friend

It's mighty strange without a doubt

Nobody knows you when you down and out

I mean when you down and out

Mmm, when you down and out

Mmm, not one penny

And my friends, I haven't any

Mmm, when I fell so low

Nobody wants me round their door

Mmm, without a doubt

No man can use you when you down and out

I mean when you down and out
