Lyrics

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire Spending my money, no, I didn't care Takin' my friend out for a mighty good time Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne wine Then one day I began to fall so low Didn't have a friend, nor no place to go If I get my hands on a dollar again I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins No, nobody knows you when you're down and out In your pocket not one penny And your friends, well, you haven't any Soon as I get back up on my feet again Everybody wants to be your long lost friend It's might strange, without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out No, nobody knows you, honey, when you're down and out In your pocket not one penny And your friends, well, you haven't any Then you get back up on your feet again Everybody wants to be your long lost friend It's might strange without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out It's mighty strange, without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out That's what I mean, honey, when you're down and out
