Blues Lyrics | Jazz | Rock | R&B

Nobody Knows You When
You're Down And Out

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, didn't have any cares.
Took my friends out for a a mighty fine time
Boot leg whiskey, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends had no place to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on to it until the old eagle grins

Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny
And as for friends, you ain't got any.

Soon as you get on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
I think it's strange, without any doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
