Down and Out

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
