about

Risa Branch covers this famous blues tune about falling on hard times.

lyrics

NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT

Once I lived a life of a millionaire
I spent all my money, I just didn't care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought top-shelf liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low
I lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on to it 'til that eagle grins 'cause

Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any
When you finally get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
That nobody knows you when you're down and out

[Instrumental]

Mmm, I done fell so low
Nobody wants me around their door
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
That nobody knows you when you're down and out, no

Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any
But you finally get back on your feet again
And everybody wants to be your long lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
That nobody knows you
Nobody likes you
Nobody needs you
And nobody wants you
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
When you're down and out
