Nobody Knows You When You'Re Down And Out (78Rpm Version)

Once I lived the 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

When I began to fall so low
I didn't have a friend, and no place to go
So if I ever get my hand on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on to it 'til them eagles grin

Nobody knows you when you down and out
In my pocket not one penny
And my friends, I haven't any
But If I ever get 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

Hmm, when you're down and out
Hmm, not one penny and my friends I haven't any
Hmm, well I felt so low
Nobody wants me 'round their door
Hmm, without a doubt
No man can use you when you down and out
I mean when you down and out
