Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out) - Mono
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
People spending my money, money
Lord and I just didn't care, no Lord
Takin' my friends out
Tryin' to have a good time
They drank that strong bootleg liquor
And that good old champagne and wine
Well, just as soon as my money got so low
I couldn't find my friends, Lord
And I just didn't have no place to go
But if I ever and if I ever get my hands
On them green dollars again, yeah
I'm gonna hold on
Till that big eagle grin, Lord
I'm trying to tell y'all
That nobody wants you
People, nobody wants you, no
When you're down and out and I know
Because in your pocket, no
There is not one penny
And all of them so-called friends
I'm trying to tell y'all
That you haven't got any
But, yeah and just as soon
As you get back on your feet again, ha
People, I'm tryin' to tell you
That here they come, tellin' you all
They're your long lost friend
Oh but I'm tryin' to tell everybody, Lord
Without a doubt
That nobody wants you
Nobody wants you, no no
Nobody wants you, no
Nobody needs you, nobody wants you
When you're down and out, Lord
And nobody have a good thing about you
And nobody can tell you when to turn
And when to go
Without a doub- ha ha
But when you get back on your feet again
Then everybody's gonna turn back and tell y'all
People spending my money, money
Lord and I just didn't care, no Lord
Takin' my friends out
Tryin' to have a good time
They drank that strong bootleg liquor
And that good old champagne and wine
Well, just as soon as my money got so low
I couldn't find my friends, Lord
And I just didn't have no place to go
But if I ever and if I ever get my hands
On them green dollars again, yeah
I'm gonna hold on
Till that big eagle grin, Lord
I'm trying to tell y'all
That nobody wants you
People, nobody wants you, no
When you're down and out and I know
Because in your pocket, no
There is not one penny
And all of them so-called friends
I'm trying to tell y'all
That you haven't got any
But, yeah and just as soon
As you get back on your feet again, ha
People, I'm tryin' to tell you
That here they come, tellin' you all
They're your long lost friend
Oh but I'm tryin' to tell everybody, Lord
Without a doubt
That nobody wants you
Nobody wants you, no no
Nobody wants you, no
Nobody needs you, nobody wants you
When you're down and out, Lord
And nobody have a good thing about you
And nobody can tell you when to turn
And when to go
Without a doub- ha ha
But when you get back on your feet again
Then everybody's gonna turn back and tell y'all
