nobody knows you when you're down and out - 78rpm version - bessie smith lyrics

once i lived the life of a millionaire
spending my money, i didn’t care
i carried my friends out for a good time
buying 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 grin
n0body 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
n0body knows you when you down and out
i mean when you down and out
mmmmm, when you’re down and out
mmmmm, not one penny
and my friends i haven’t any
mmmmm, well i felt so low
n0body wants me round their door
mmmmm, without a doubt
no man can use you wen you down and out
i mean when you down and out
