Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out Lyrics - Live At The Fillmore - Derek And The Dominos

Once, I lived the life of a millionaire 

Spent all my money, I just did not care 

Taking all my friend out for a good time 

We bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine 

Then I began to fall so low 

I lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go 

Never get my hand on a dollar again 

I'm gonna hang on to it until the eagle grins 

'Cause no, no, no, nobody knows you 

When you're down and out 

In your pocket [Incomprehensible], not one penny 

And as for friends, you don't have any 

When you finally get back upon your feet again 

Here comes everybody sayin' they wanna be 

A good old long-lost friend, [Incomprehensible] mighty strange 

Nobody knows you when you're down and out
