Once I lived a life of a millionaire Spent all my money, didn't have a care Taking all my friends out for a mighty good ride Bootleg liquors, champagne and wine Then I began to fall so low Didn't have a penny and no place to go If I ever lay my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hold on to it till the eagle grins Nobody loves you when you're down and out In your pocket you ain't got one penny And your friends you don't have any Well, just as soon as you've get back on your feet again Here they all come the same old year long lost friends I thought that it's mighty strange, but without a doubt No, nobody loves you (let me tell you) Nobody needs you, hey, hey Nobody lo-loves you when you're down and out No, hey, hey, hey Nobody needs you, nobody loves you (I gotta tell you one more time) Hey, hey, nobody lo-loves you when you're down and out
