Chad Mitchell Trio - Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out lyrics

Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spent all my money, like I didn't a care Threatin' my friends out for a mighty good time Buying that fancy liquor, champagne and wine Then I began to fall so low I didn't have no money and no place to go If I ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hang onto it 'til that eagle grins, cause Nobody knows you when you're down and out In your pocket, you haven't got a penny As your friends, well, ain't too many If I ever get back on my feet again Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend It's mighty strange, without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out And then I began to fall so low I didn't have no money and no place to go If I ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hang onto it 'til that eagle grins, cause Nobody knows you when you're down and out In your pocket, you haven't got a penny As your friends, well, there ain't too many If I ever get back on my feet again Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend It's mighty strange, without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out
