Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out)

Once I lived the life, life of millionaire
 People spending my money
 Lord, and I just didn't care, now lord
 Takin' my friend out, tryin' to have a good time
 They drank that strong bootleg liquor
 And that good old champagne and wine
 Well, lord, just as soon as my money got so low
 I couldn't find my friends, lord
 And I just didn't have no place to go now, no no
 But if I ever
 And if I ever get my hands on them green dollars again, yeah
 I'm gonna hold on 'til that big eagle grin, lord now
 I'm trying to tell y'all that nobody wants you
 
 People, nobody wants you, no
 When you're down and out, now-now lord
 Because in your pocket, no, there is not one penny
 And all of them so-called friends
 I'm trying to tell, y'all that you haven't got any but, yeah
 And just as soon as you get back on your feet again
 People, I'm tryin' to tell you that here they come
 Tellin' you all, they're your long lost friend
 Oh, but I'm tryin' to tell everybody, lord, without a doubt
 That nobody wants you
 Nobody wants you, no, no
 Nobody wants you, no
 Nobody needs you
 Nobody wants you when you're down and out, lord
 And nobody says a good thing about you
 And nobody can tell you when to turn and when to go
 But, but when you get back on your feet again
 Then everybody come tell you that here they come
 Try to tell you all, they're your long lost friend
