| Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out (Jimmy Cox) Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spending all my money, I didn't have a care Taking all my friend out for a mighty fine time Fine Bootleg liquor, champagne and wine; Then I began to fall so low; Lost all my friends, had no place to go I ever get my hands on a dollar again Gonna hold on to it till the eagle grins, Nobody knows you when you're down and out In your pocket, you got a penny And all your friends -- you haven't any. When I get back on my feet again Everybody gonna want to be my long-lost friend It's might strange, without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out. In your pocket, you got a penny And all your friends -- you haven't any. When I get back on my feet again Everybody gonna want to be my long-lost friend It's might strange, without a doubt Nobody knows you Nobody want to be your friend Nobody knows you when your down and out Copyright MCA Music Publishing Unreleased Roger McGuinn recording from the 80's |
