Nobody Knows You When Youre Down And Out lyrics

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spendin` my money, I didn`t even care
I took all my friends out for good times
I rode `em in my Cadillac, bought `em whiskey, champagne, and wine

But in `54 I began to fall down low
Not a friend, no place to go
And if I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I`m gonna squeeze it, squeeze it till the eagle grins

Nobody knows you when you`re down and out
In your pockets not one penny
And your friends, you don`t have any
But if I ever get on my feet again
I hope I don`t need my lost long [sic] friend
It`s mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you`re down and out
Nobody knows you when you`re down and out
Nobody wants to know you when you`re, huh, broke
