Once I lived the life of a mil-lion-aire,
Spend-ing my mon-ey, I did-n't care.
I car-ried my friends out for a good time
Buy-in' boot-leg whis-ky, cham-pagne and wine.
when I be-gan to fall so low,
I did-n't have a friend, and no-where to go.
If I ev-er get my hands on a dol-lar a-gain,
I'm gon-na hang on to it till that ea-gle grins.
CHORUS
No-bod-y knows you when you're down and out.
In your poc-ket, not one pen-ny,
and my friends I have-n't an-y.
But if I ev-er get on my feet a-gain,
Then I'll meet my long lost friends
It's might-y strange, with-out a doubt,
No-bod-y knows you when you're down and out.
I mean when you're down and out'
