Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out

Lyrics

Once I lived the life
 Of a millionaire
 Spending my money
 Oh I didn't care
 Taking my friends out
 For a mighty good time
 Oh we'd drink that good gin
 Champagne and wine
 But oh just as soon
 As my money got low
 I couldn't find nobody
 And I had no place to go
 And if I ever get my hands
 On a dollar again
 I'm gonna hold on
 Till the eagle wins
 Cause I found out
 Nobody wants you
 When you're down and out
 Nobody wants you
 When you're down and out
 Lord have mercy
 Yeah, yeah, now listen
 Now in your pocket
 There's not one penny
 And all of them good friends
 You found out you haven't got any
 Nobody come around
 But the landlord and the taxman
 Your ex-wife who says
 She wants more alimony
 Then there's a knock on the door
 And it's a woman you don't know
 Says she's having your baby
 She'll walk on in
 But oh just as soon
 As the money roll in
 Here they all come sayings
 That they're you're long lost friends
 But if I ever get my hands
 On a dollar again
 I believe, I believe I'll hold on
 Till the eagle wins
 Cause I found out
 Nobody wants you
 When you're down and out
 Nobody wants you
 When you're down and out
 Nobody wants you
 When you're down and out
 Nobody wants you
 When you're down and out
 Nobody wants you
 When you're down and out
 Nobody wants you
 When you're down and out
 Nobody wants you
 When you're down and out
 Nobody, nobody, nobody
