Nobody Knows You When You're Out and Down (Remastered)

Nobody Knows You When You're Out and Down (Remastered) - Bessie Smith

Lyrics by：James Cox

Composed by：James Cox

Once I lived the life

Of a millionaire

Spending my money

I didn't care

I carried 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

So if 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 down and out

In my pocket not one penny

And my friends I haven't any

But If I ever get on my feet again

Then I'll meet my long lost friend

It's mighty strange

Without a doubt

Nobody knows you

When you down and out

I mean when you down and out

Mmmmm when you're down and out

Mmmmm not one penny

And my friends I haven't any

Mmmmm well I felt so low

Nobody wants me round their door

Mmmmm without a doubt

No man can use you wen you down and out

I mean when you down and out
