Nobody Knows You When You Are Down And Out Songtext / Lyric

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire, spending my money, no, I didn't care

Takin' my friend John out for a mighty good time

Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine



Then I began to fall so low, didn't have a friend, nor no place to go

If I get my hands on a dollar again

I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins






Soon as I get back up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend

It's might strange, without a doubt

Nobody wants you when you're down and out



Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend

It's mighty strange, without a doubt

Nobody wants you when you're down and out

That's what I mean, when you're down and out
