Nobody Knows When You're Down And Out

Lyrics

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
 Spending my money, I didn't care
 I carried my friends out for a good time
 Buying bootleg liquor, champagne, and wine
 Then I began to fall so low
 I didn't have a friend and no place to go
 So if I ever get my hand on a dollar again
 I'm gonna hold on to it 'til them eagles grin
 Nobody knows you
 When you're 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're down and out
 I mean, when you're down and out
 ♪
 When you're down and out, not one penny
 And my friends, I haven't any and I felt so low
 Nobody wants me 'round their door
 Without a doubt
 No man can use you when you're down and out
 I mean, when you're down and out
