Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out – Wikipedia
Letra:
NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU’RE DOWN AND OUT
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, didn’t have any care
Took all my friends out for mighty good times
Bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go
I get my hands on a dollar again
I’ll hang on to it till that old eagle grins
Because nobody knows you
When you’re down and out In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don’t have any
When you get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
I said it’s strange, without any doubt
Nobody knows you when you’re down and out
Oh, nobody knows you
When you’re down and out In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don’t have any
When you get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
I said it’s strange, without any doubt
Nobody knows you (Nobody knows you)
Nobody knows you (Nobody knows you)
Nobody knows you when you’re down and out
