|
once i lived the life of a millionaire |
|
spent all my money just did not care |
|
took all my friends out for a good time |
|
bought bootleg whisky champagne and wine |
|
then i began to fall so low |
|
lost all my good friends i did not have nowhere to go |
|
if i get my hands on a dollar again |
|
i'm going to hang on to it till that eagle grins |
|
because nobody loves you when you're down and out |
|
in your pocket not one penny |
|
and as for friends you don't have many |
|
when you finally get back upon your feet again |
|
everybody wants to be your good old long lost friend |
|
said it's mighty strange without a doubt |
|
nobody knows you when you're down and out |
