Nobody knows you when you're down and out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, I just didn't care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, and no place to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'll hang on to it till the eagle grins

Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny
And all your for friends, you don't have any

If you get back on your fit again
Then you will find your long lost friends
It's mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny
And all your for friends, you don't have any

If you get back on your fit again
Then you will find your long lost friends
It's mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
