Nobody Knows You

Jimmie Cox

[Verse 1]
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, didn't have any care
Called all my friends out for a mighty good time
Bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine

[Verse 2]
Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'll hang on to it till that eagle grins

[Chorus]
'Cause nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any

[Verse 3]
When you get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
Said it's strange, without any doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out, no they don't
When you're down and out

[Trumpet / Acoustic Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any

[Verse 5]
Once you get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
Said it's strange, without any doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out, no they don't
When you're down, I mean
When you're down and out
