[00:00.00]Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out (05-12-29) - Bessie Smith
[00:11.42]Once I lived the life of a millionaire
[00:14.64]
[00:17.21]Spending my money I didn't care
[00:19.97]
[00:21.85]I carried my friends out for a good time
[00:26.46]
[00:27.22]Buying bootleg liquor champagne and wine
[00:31.69]
[00:33.37]Then I began to fall so low
[00:36.20]
[00:37.88]I didn't have a friend and no place to go
[00:41.92]
[00:42.81]So if I ever get my hand on a dollar again
[00:46.81]
[00:47.89]I'm gonna hold on to it till them eagle's grin
[00:52.11]
[00:54.73]Nobody knows you when you down and out
[01:03.80]
[01:05.50]In my pocket not one penny
[01:09.45]
[01:10.83]And my friends I haven't any
[01:14.24]
[01:15.33]But If I ever get on my feet again
[01:18.88]
[01:21.28]Then I'll meet my long lost friend
[01:24.54]
[01:26.45]It's mighty strange without a doubt
[01:30.48]
[01:31.96]Nobody knows you when you down and out
[01:35.96]
[01:36.49]I mean when you down and out
[01:39.66]
[02:09.06]Mmmmm when you're down and out
[02:19.66]Mmmmm not one penny
[02:23.74]
[02:25.39]And my friends I haven't any
[02:28.59]
[02:29.73]Mmmmm well I felt so low
[02:33.77]
[02:35.66]Nobody wants me round their door
[02:39.26]
[02:40.14]Mmmmm without a doubt
[02:44.29]
[02:46.08]No man can use you wen you down and out
[02:49.61]
[02:50.32]I mean when you down and out
