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

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

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, I just did not care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne, and wine

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it until that eagle grins, yeah

'Cause no-no-nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
As for friends, you don't have any

When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend
I said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be a good old long lost friend
I said it's mighty strange, yeah
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
