Lyrics

Once I lived the life of a millionaire.
Spending my money; I didn't care.
I took all my friends out for a good time,
Buyin' high price liquor, champagne and wine.
When I began to fall so low, I didn't have a friend,
and no place to go.
If I ever get hold of a dollar again,
Gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.

Nobody knows you,
When you're down and out.
In you pocket, not one penny.
And your friends, you don't have any.
But if you ever get on your feet again,
Then you'll find your long lost friends.
It's mighty strange, without a doubt.
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
