Nobody Wants You When You're Down And Out

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire

Spending my money, no, I didn't care

Takin' my friend John out for a mighty good time

Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low

Didn't have a friend, nor no place to go

If I get my hands on a dollar again

I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins

Soon as I get back up on my feet again

Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend

It's might strange, without a doubt

Nobody wants you when you're down and out

Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again

Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend

It's mighty strange, without a doubt

Nobody wants you when you're down and out

That's what I mean when you're down and out
