Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spending all my money and I didn't care,
Taking my friends out we have a good time buying
Good old whiskey, Champagne and wine.
Then I began fall so low,
Didn't have a friend and no place to go,
Ever get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hold on to it till that eagle grins
Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In my pocket not one penny,
And my friends well have many
Have I ever get back on my feet again
Go and see my long lost friends
Mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody needs you when you're down and out
Have I get back on my feet again
Go and see my long lost friends
Mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody needs you when you're down and out
