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

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending all my money
I just didn't care
Took all my friends out
For a mighty good time
Drinkin' bootleg whiskey
Champagne and wine

Then I began to sink so low
Lost all my money
Didn't have nowhere to go
If I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna squeeze it
Till that old eagle grins

Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket (Uh-huh)
You ain't got one penny
And all your so-called friends
You just ain't got any

When I get back on my feet again
Everybody gonna wanna be my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange
Without a doubt
But nobody knows you
When you're down and out
When you're down and out

Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket
You ain't got a red penny
And your so-called friends
You just ain't got any

When you begin to get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
It's mighty strange
Without a doubt (Nobody)
Can use you when you're down

Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket
You ain't got no penny
You ain't got no friends
Well you just ain't got any
