Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, just did not care 
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine 

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go 
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, yeah

Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out 
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any 

When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend 
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out 

When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend 
Said it's mighty strange
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you   when you're down and out
