Once I lived the life of a millionaire
   Spending my money, I didn't care
   I carried my friends out for a good time
   Bying 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 green
   Nobody knows you when you 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 down and out
   I mean when you down and out
   Mmmmmmmm.... when you're down and out
   Mmmmmmmm... not one penny
   And my friends I haven't any
   Mmmmmmmm... Well I felt so low
   Nobody wants me round their door
   Mmmmmmmm... Without a doubt,
   No man can use you wen you down and out
   I mean when you down and out
