Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out

Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out - Barrelhouse Jazzband

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 whisky

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

Honey

When you're down and out

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

When you down and out

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Not one penny

And my friends I

I havn't any

But if I let get on my feet again

When I meet my long long friend

It is my Mystery without any doubt

But nobody knows you when you're down and out

Honey

When you're down and out
