Nobody Knows You 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 till them eagle's 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
 ♪
 Mmmmm, when you're down and out,
 Mmmmm, not one penny
 And my friends I haven't any,
 Mmmmm, well I felt so low
 Nobody wants me round their door,
 Mmmmm, without a doubt,
 No man can use you wen you down and out
 I mean when you down and out
