Nobody Knows You When You're Down And 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
 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
