Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spent all my money, I just did not care Took all my friends out for a good time Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] '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 [Verse 4] 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, yeah [Guitar Solo] [Verse 5] But when you finally get back up on your feet again Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend Said it's mighty strange, yeah Nobody knows you Nobody knows you Nobody knows you when you're down and out
