Nobody Knows You 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 'til them eagle's grin

Nobody knows you when you 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 down and out
I mean when you down and out

Mmmmm, when you're down and out
Mmmmm, not one penny
And my friends, I haven't any
Mmmmm, well I felt so low

Nobody wants me 'round their door
Mmmmm, without a doubt
No man can use you when you down and out
I mean when you down and out
