From the recording Got the Blues
Lyrics
Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and 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
We bought bootleg liquor, 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’ll hang on to it until that old loonie 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
I said it straight, without any doubt
Nobody knows you when you’re down and out
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 straight, without any doubt
Nobody knows you, nobody knows you
Nobody knows you when you’re down and out
Down and out
