Nobody Knows You When You're Down & Out

Once I lived the life
of a millionaire,
spent all my money,
didn�t have any cares
Took all my friends
out for a mighty good
time, bought bootleg
whisky, champagne
and wine
Then I began to fall
so low, lost all my
good friends, I had
nowhere to go
I get my hands on
a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to
it �til that eagle grins
Because 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 get back
on your feet again,
everybody wants to be
your long-lost friend
Said it's strange,
without a doubt,
nobody knows you when
you're down and out
Instrumental

Oh, 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 get back
on your feet again,
everybody wants to be
your long-lost friend
I said it's strange,
without a doubt,
nobody knows you

Nobody knows
you
Nobody knows you
when you're down and
out
