Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out - Odetta
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spendin' my money, I didn't care
I carried my friends out for a good time
Buying bootleg Whisky , champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
I didn't have a friend and no place to go
And I get my hand on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on to it till them eagle's grin
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
Go to see my long lost friend
Mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
If I ever get on my feet again
Go to see my long lost friend
Mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody need you when you're down and out
