Nobody Knows When You Re Down And Out (mono Lp Version) - Lavern Baker

Once I lived the life of a millionaire

Spending my money I didn't care

I take my friends out for the time

Buy blinnica champagne and wine

When I began to fall so low

I didn't have friends and no place to go

So if I ever get my hands on dollar again

I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins

No nobody knows you

When you're down and out

In my pocket not one penny

And my friends I haven't any

When I finally get back up 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
