lyrics | learn to sing Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spending all my money without any care

Took all my friends out for a mighty good time

Bought me black whisky, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low

Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go

I get my hands on a dollar again

I'll hold on to it 'til that old eagle grins

Because nobody knows you When you're down and out

Empty pockets have just one penny And as for friends, you ain't got any

When you get back on your feet again Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend

I say it's strange without any doubt no one can use you nobody knows you when

you're down and out
