[instrumental intro] [verse 1] Once I lived the life of a millionaire. Spending my money; I didn't care. I took all my friends out for a good time, Buyin' high price liquor, champagne and wine. When I began to fall so low, I didn't have a friend, and no place to go. If I ever get hold of a dollar again, Gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins. [CHORUS:] Nobody knows you, When you're down and out. In you pocket, not one penny. And your friends, you don't have any. [instrumental break] [verse 2] But if you ever get on your feet again, Then you'll find your long lost friends. It's mighty strange, without a doubt. Nobody knows you when your down and out, I mean when you're down and out.
