Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out - Neko Case, Vince Giordano, The Nighthawks

Once I lived the life of a millionaire

Spendin' 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 eagle’s 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

When you’re down and out, not one penny

And my friends, I haven’t any and I felt so low

Nobody wants me 'round their door

Without a doubt

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

I mean when you’re down and out
