Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, I just didn’t care
Takin’ my friends out for a good time
buying by liquor, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, and no place to go
If I ever get my hand on a dollar again
I’m hanging on to it, till the eagle grins
Nobody knows you when you’re down and out
And if in your pocket, no one penny
Not only good friends - you don’t have any
If you get back on your feet again
Thats when you find your long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
And if in your pocket, no one penny
If you get back on your feet again
Thats when you meet your long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
