"Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out." by 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
Bying 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 eagle`s green

Nobody knows you when you 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 down and out
I mean when you down and out

Mmmmmmmm.... when you`re down and out
Mmmmmmmm... not one penny
And my friends I haven`t any
Mmmmmmmm... Well I felt so low
Nobody wants me round their door
Mmmmmmmm... Without a doubt,
No man can use you wen you down and out
I mean when you down and out"
