Nobody Knows You When You When You're Down and Out

Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out - Lead Belly

Once I lived the life of a millionaire

Spendin' my money I did not care

Take my friends out for a good time

Buying bootleg liquor champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low

I didn't have a friend and no place to go

I ever get my hand on a dollar again

I'm gonna hold on to it till them eagle's grin

Nobody knows you

When you're down and out

In my pocket not one penny

And my friends I haven't any

If I ever get on my feet again

I gonna meet my long lost friend

And it's mighty strange without a doubt

Nobody knows you when you're down and out

Yeah when you're down and out

When you're down and out

Not one penny

My friend I haven't any

Ohh nobody knows you when you're down and out

And it's mighty strange without a doubt

Nobody knows you when you're down and out

Yeah when you're down and out
