Clapton Eric Nobody Knows You When You Re Down And Out lyrics

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.
