Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire,

Spending all my money, I just did not care.

Taking my friends out for a mighty good time,

Bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine.

Then I began to fall so low,

Lost all my good friends and nowhere to go.

If I get my hands on a dollar again,

I'm gonna hang onto it till the eagle grins.

Cause 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 get myself back on my feet again,

Everybody wanna be 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.

Cause nobody knows you

When you're down and out.

In my pocket, not one penny,

And my friends, I haven't any.

But when I get myself back on my feet again,

Everyone wanna be 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.

When you're down and,

When you're down and out.
