(Jimmie Cox) |
|
Once I lived the lifeof 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 soonas 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 |
