Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, didn't have any care.
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time,
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine.

Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it, till that eagle grins.

'Cause nooo 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 up on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend.
I said it's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you, when you're down and out.

'Cause nooo 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 finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend.
I said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
