paroles de chanson Down & Out - From a Audition 1965 - Janis Joplin

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending all my money, no, I didn't care
Takin' my friends out for a mighty good time
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low,
Didn't have a friend, nor no place to go.
If I get my hands on a dollar again, Lord
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins.
'Cause you know that no-nobody knows you
Honey, when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny
And your good friends, you look around an' you haven't any
Soon as I get back up on my feet again
Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend.
It's might strange, it's true, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down,
Down and out.
No, nobody knows you
Honey, when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny
And your good friends, you look around an' you haven't any
Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again
Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
No-one can use you when you're down and out.
Honey, I mean it's when you're down and out.
