Wanderin'/nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out Lyrics - Lifelines Live - Peter, Paul & Mary

My daddy is an engineer, my brother drives a hack 

My sister pulls in washing, the baby balls the jack 

And it looks like I'm never gonna cease my wanderin' 

I been wanderin' early and late 

New York City to the Golden Gate 

And it looks like I'm never gonna cease my wanderin' 

Snakes in the ocean, eels in the sea 

A red headed woman made a wreck'a me 

And it looks like I'm never gonna cease my wanderin' 

Nobody knows you when you're down and out 

In your pocket, not one penny 

And your friends you know you haven't any 

If I ever get my hands on a dollar again 

I'm gonna hold onto it 'til George Washington grins 

It's mighty strange without a doubt 

Nobody wants you when you're down and out 

Nobody wants you when you're down and out 

Nobody wants you when you're down and out 

It's mighty strange without a doubt 

Nobody wants you, nobody needs you 

I know what I'm talkin' about 

Nobody wants you when you're down and out
