Nobody Knows You When Youre Down & Out

Nobody Knows You When Youre Down &Out -Bessie Smith
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money I didnt care
I carried my friends out for a good time
Buying bootleg liquor champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
I didnt have a friend and no place to go
So if I ever get my hand on a dollar again
Im gonna hold on to it till them eagles grin
Nobody knows you when you down and out
In my pocket not one penny
And my friends I havent any
But If I ever get on my feet again
Then Ill meet my long lost friend
Its mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you down and out
I mean when you down and out
Mmmmm when youre down and out
Mmmmm not one penny
And my friends I havent 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
