Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, no, I didn't care
Takin' my friend out for a mighty good time
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne wine
Then one day 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
No, nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny
And your friends, well, you haven't any
Soon as I get back up on my feet again
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend
It's might strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
No, nobody knows you, honey, when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny
And your friends, well, you haven't any
Then you get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend
It's might strange without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
That's what I mean, honey, when you're down and out
