Karaoké Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out 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 eagles grin

Nobody knows you when you're 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're down and out

I mean when you're down and out

Mmh

When you're down and out

Mmh

Not one penny

And my friends I haven't any

Mmh mmh mmh mmh

Well I felt so low

Nobody wants me 'round their door

Mmh mmh mmh

Without a doubt

No man can use you when you're down and out

I mean when you're down and out
