Nobody Knows You When You're Down |
| Once I lived the life of a millionaire |
| Spending my money, I didn’t care |
| I carried my friends out for a good time |
| Bying 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 till them eagle’s green |
| 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 |
| Mmmmmmmm… when you’re down and out |
| Mmmmmmmm… not one penny |
| And my friends I haven’t any |
| Mmmmmmmm… Well I felt so low |
| Nobody wants me round their door |
| Mmmmmmmm… Without a doubt, |
| No man can use you wen you down and out |
| I mean when you down and out |
