Nobody Knows You when You're Down & Out Lyrics

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spendin' my money, oh, I didn't care
Takin' my friends out for a mighty good time
Oh, we'd drink that good gin, champagne and wine

But oh just as soon as my money got low
I couldn't find nobody and I had no place to go
And if I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on till the eagle wins
'Cause I found out

Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Lord have mercy

Yeah, yeah, now listen
Now in your pocket there's not one penny
And all of them good friends, you found out you haven't got any

Nobody come around but the landlord and the taxman
Your ex-wife who says she wants more alimony
Then there's a knock on the door and it's a woman you don't know
Says she's havin' your baby, she'll walk on in

But oh, just as soon as the money roll in
See they all come sayings that they're you're long lost friends
But if I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I believe, I believe I'll hold on till the eagle wins
'Cause I found out

Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out

Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody, nobody, nobody
