Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out Lyrics - The Soul Album - Otis Redding

(Jimmie 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 

Photos 

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
