Nobody Knows You (When You're Down And Out)

(album: American Quilt - 2021)

Once I lived a 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
Didn't have a friend and no place to go
But if I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on till them eagles grins

Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In my pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, I haven't any

But if ever get on my feet again
Then I'll meet my long-lost friends
It's money straight without any doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and...
I mean, when you're down and out

When you're down and out
Not one penny
And as for friends, I haven't any
I done feel so low
Nobody wants me round their door
Without a doubt
No man can use you when you're down and out
I mean, when you're down and out
