Lyrics Nobody Knows When You're Down and Out - Odetta

Once I lived the life of 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 want syou 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 soon as 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
