Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire

Spendin' my money, I didn't care

Takin' my friends out for a mighty good time

Buyin' bootleg liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low

Couldn't find me no friends

Had no place to go

If I ever get my hands on a dollar again

I'm gonna hold on to it till the eagle grins

I said nobody knows you

When you're down and out

In your pocket, you ain't got one penny

And your friends, you didn't have any

Just as soon as you get up on your feet again

Here they all come, they say that they're your long-lost friends

Oh, Lord! Without a doubt

Nobody wants you

Nobody needs you

Nobody wants you

When you're down and out

I say

Nobody wants you

Nobody needs you

Nobody wants you

When you're down and out
