Jimmy Witherspoon - Nobody Knows You lyrics

rate me

Once I lived the life of a millionaire<br />

Spendin' my money, I didn't even care<br />

Takin' all my friends out for a good times<br />

Buyin' them champagne, cocaine, branded grass and wine<br />

<br />

But in 1954 when I began to fall down low<br />

I didn't have any friends, any place to go<br />

But if I ever get my hands on a dollar again<br />

I'm gonna squeeze it and squeeze that mother till the eagle grins<br />

<br />

Nobody knows you when you're down and out, oh yeah<br />

And in your pockets not one penny<br />

And your friends, you can't find any<br />

But if I ever, I swear if I ever get on my feet again<br />

<br />

I pray and I hope I don't meet my lost long friends<br />

It's mighty strange without a doubt<br />

Nobody knows you when you're down and out<br />

Nobody knows you when you're broke
