MiscellaneousNobody Knows You When You're Down and Out lyrics by Bessie Smith
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, I didn't care
I carried my friends out for a good time
Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine
When 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 green
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
