(Jimmie Cox)
|
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.
|
|
Then I began to fall so low,
|
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.
|
I get my hands on a dollar again,
|
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.
|
|
'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.
|
|
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.
|
|
When you finally get back upon your feet again,
|
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend.
|
Said it's mighty strange,
|
Nobody knows you,
|
Nobody knows you,
|
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
