Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out - LaVern Baker
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money I didn't care
I take my friends out for the time
Buy blinnica champagne and wine
When I began to fall so low
I didn't have friends and no place to go
So if I ever get my hands on dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins
No nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In my pocket not one penny
And my friends I haven't any
When I finally get back up 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
Mmmmmmmm when you're down and out
Mmmmmmmm not one penny
And my friends I haven't any
Mmmmmmmm well I felt so low
Nobody wants me round their door
Mmmmmmmm without a doubt
No man can use you wen you down and out
I mean when you down and out
