"Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" lyrics

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire,
spending my money, no, I didn't care
Takin' my friend out for a mighty good time
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne wine

Then one day I began to fall so low,
didn't have a friend, nor no place to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins

No, nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny,
and your friends, well, you haven't any

Soon as I get back up on my feet again,
everybody wants to be your long lost friend
It's might strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

No, nobody knows you, honey, when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny,
and your friends, well, you haven't any

Then you get back up on your feet again,
everybody wants to be your long lost friend
It's might strange without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
That's what I mean, honey, when you're down and out
