Nobody Knows you when you're down and out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spending all my money, I didn't care
I carried all 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 till them eagle's grin

Nobody knows you
when you down and out
In my pocket not one penny,
and my friends I... 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

Nobody knows you
when you down and out
In my pocket not one penny,
and my friends I... 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
