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

When I begin 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 eagles grin
Nobody knows you,
when you down and out
In my pocket not one penny,
and my friends, well, 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
