Nobody Knows - Bessie Smith, Ирвинг Берлин

Once I lived the life of a millionaire

Spent all my money, I just did not care

Took all my friends out for a good time

Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low

Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go If I get my hands on a dollar again

I’m gonna hang on to it 'til that eagle grins, yeah

'Cause no, 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

When you finally get back up on your feet again

Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend

Said it’s mighty strange, without a doubt

Nobody knows you when you’re down and out

But when you finally get back up on your feet again

Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend

Said it’s mighty strange, yeah

Nobody knows you

Nobody knows you

Nobody knows you when you’re down and out
