Once I lived the life of a millionaire |
|
Spendin' my money, I didn't care |
|
I carried my friends out for a good time |
|
Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine |
|
Then I began to fall so low |
|
I didn't have a friend and no place to go |
|
So if I ever get my hand on a dollar again |
|
I'm gonna hold on to it till them eagle's grin |
|
Nobody knows you |
|
When you're down and out |
|
In my pocket not one penny |
|
And my friends, I haven't any |
|
But if I ever get on my feet again |
|
Then I'll meet my long lost friend |
|
It's mighty strange without a doubt |
|
Nobody knows you when you're down and out |
|
I mean when you're down and out |
|
When you're down and out, not one penny |
|
And my friends, I haven't any and I felt so low |
|
Nobody wants me 'round their door |
|
Without a doubt |
|
No man can use you when you're down and out |
|
I mean when you're down and out |
