Once I lived the life of a millionaire, Spent all my money, just did not 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, had nowhere to go. If I get my hands on a dollar a - gain, I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, 'cause Refrain: No - body knows you when you're down and out; In your pocket, not one penny; And as for friends, you don't have any. Then when you get back on your feet a - gain Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend It's mighty strange, without any doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out. When you finally get back upon your feet a - gain, Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend Said it's mighty strange, without any doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out. It's mighty strange, without any doubt, Nobody knows you when you're down, you're down and out
