Gale Garnett - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out lyrics

Artist: Gale Garnett

album: Lovin' Place


Once, I lived the life of a millionaire
Spendin' my money, honey, I didn't care
Takin' my friends out for a good time
Buyin' bootleg liquor, champagne, and wine
Then, I began to fall so low
I didn't have no money and nowhere I could go
I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on to it until a eagle grins
Because, no, nobody knows you
Well, when you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And all your fine fair-weather friends
You don't have any
But, soon as you commence
To get upon your feet again
Well, don'cha know, they'll be your friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody can use you when you're down and out
(Play the blues!)
(And all your former friends
Let me tell you, they don't come 'round
You're sittin' there in your own house
Just as (indiscernible)
They're all boppin' by like you're out-of-town)
But, soon as you get up on your flat feet again
You better believe, they'll be your friend
It's mighty strange, (indiscernible) a down shame!
Nobody knows when you're down
Baby! And out!!
(And that's a fact!!!)
