Nobody Knows You When You're Down & Out

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire



Spending 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 pockets, you ain't got one penny



And your friends, you didn't have any



Just as soon as you get upon your feet again



Here they all come, they say



That they're your long-lost friend



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
