Nobody Knows You When You re Down And Out
by 
Jimmy Cox 
recording of 19 
from Janis 
Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire, spending my money, no, I didn't care 
Takin' my friend John 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 
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins 
Soon as I get back up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend 
It's might strange, without a doubt 
Nobody wants you when you're down and out 
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 
Nobody wants you when you're down and out 
That's what I mean, when you're down and out
