Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire

Spent all my money, didn't have any care

Took all my friends out for a mighty good time

Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low

Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go

I get my hands on a dollar again

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

'Cause no, no, nobody knows you

When you're down and out

In my pocket, not one penny

And as for friends, you don't have any

When you finally get back up on your feet again

Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend

Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt

Nobody knows you when you're down and out

when you're down and out

And as for friends, you haven't any;

what fall so low

nobody wants me on the door

without a doubt

Nobody knows you when you're down and out

when you're down and out
