Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out Lyrics - Careless Love - Bessie Smith

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 

 

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 

 

Mmmmm, when you're down and out, 

Mmmmm, not one penny 

And my friends I haven't any, 

Mmmmm, well I felt so low 

Nobody 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
