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 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 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 
Then I'll meet my long lost friend 
It's mighty strange without a doubt 
Nobody knows you when you're down and out 

I mean when you're down and out
