Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out

[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
