NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT- Derek and the Dominos

Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spent all my money, just did not care Took all my friends out for a good time Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go If I get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, yeah

Cause no, no, nobody knows you When you're down and out In your pocket, not one penny And as for friends, you don't have any

When you finally get back up on your feet again Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out

When you finally get back upon your feet again, Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend Said it's mighty strange Nobody knows you Nobody knows you Nobody knows you when you're down and out

Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spending all my money didn't have any cares Took all my friends out for a mighty good time We bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low Lost all my good friends, had no where to go If I get my hands on a dollar again I'll hang on to it, till that old eagle grins

Chorus

Because nobody loves you When you're down and out In your pocket, not one penny And as for friends, you don't have many.

When you get back on your feet again Everybody wants to be your long lost friend I said it straight, without any doubt Nobody knows you, when your down and out.
