Nobody Knows When You're Down and Out
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 that eagle grins
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
Well, 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
