Once I lived the life of a millionaire I spent all my money, I didn't care I took all my friends out for a good time I bought 'em more whisky, I bought 'em champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low Nobody with me, and nowhere to go If I have (?) my hands on a dollar again I'll keep the baby untill that eagle grins
'Cause nobody knows you when you're down and out 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 When you're down and out
Oh, nobody knows you when you're down and out In my pocket, not one penny And my friends, they have many 'Cause nobody knows you when you're down and out When you're down and out When you're down and out
