Nobody knows you when you're down and out
Then I began to fall so low
When you're down and out
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
I get my hands on a dollar again
Nobody knows you
'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine
Took all my friends out for a good time
In your pocket, not one penny
Nobody knows you
Said it's mighty strange
And as for friends, you don't have any
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
When you finally get back upon your feet again
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
