"Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out." by Bessie Smith
Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spending my money, I didn`t care I carried my friends out for a good time Bying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low I didn`t have a friend, and no place to go So if I ever get my hand on a dollar again I`m gonna hold on to it till them eagle`s green
Nobody knows you when you 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 Then I`ll meet my long lost friend It`s mighty strange, without a doubt Nobody knows you when you down and out I mean when you down and out
Mmmmmmmm.... when you`re down and out Mmmmmmmm... not one penny And my friends I haven`t any Mmmmmmmm... Well I felt so low Nobody wants me round their door Mmmmmmmm... Without a doubt, No man can use you wen you down and out I mean when you down and out"
