Jimmy Witherspoon - Nobody Knows You When You're Down & Out lyrics
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spendin' my money, I didn't even care
I took all my friends out for good times
I rode 'em in my Cadillac, bought 'em whiskey, champagne, and wine
But in '54 I began to fall down low
Not a friend, no place to go
And if I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna squeeze it, squeeze it till the eagle grins
Jimmy Witherspoon - Nobody Knows You When You're Down & Out - http://motolyrics.com/jimmy-witherspoon/nobody-knows-you-when-youre-down-and-out-lyrics.html
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pockets not one penny
And your friends, you don't have any
But if I ever get on my feet again
I hope I don't need my lost long [sic] friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
Nobody wants to know you when you're, huh, broke
