Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out
Lyrics and Music: Jimmy Cox

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, oh I didn't care
Taking my friends out for a mighty good time
Oh we'd drink that good gin, champagne and wine

But oh just as soon as my money got low
I couldn't find nobody and I had no place to go
And if I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on till the eagle wins
Cause I found out

Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

Lord have mercy
Yeah, yeah, now listen

Now in your pocket there's not one penny
And all of them good friends
You found out you haven't got any
Nobody come around but the landlord and the taxman
Your ex-wife who says she wants more alimony
Then there's a knock on the door and it's a woman you don't know
Says she's having your baby
She'll walk on in

But oh just as soon as the money roll in
Here they all come sayings that they're you're long lost friends
But if I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I believe, I believe I'll hold on till the eagle wins
Cause I found out

Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Nobody, nobody, nobody
