Nobody knows you

Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, and have not care.
Took all my friends out for a money good time,
Bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine.

Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, and nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I hang on to it till that all zeagle 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 get back up on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
I Said it's mighty strange, without any 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.
