Otis Redding - Nobody Knows You (When You're Down And Out) Lyrics
(Jimmie Cox)Once I lived the lifeof a millionaireSpending my moneyOh I didn't careTaking my friends outFor a mighty good timeOh we'd drink that good ginChampagne and wineBut oh just as soonAs my money got lowI couldn't find nobodyAnd I had no place to goAnd if I ever get my handsOn a dollar againI'm gonna hold onTill the eagle winsCause I found outNobody wants youWhen you're down and outNobody wants youWhen you're down and outLord have mercyYeah, yeah, now listenNow in your pocketThere's not one pennyAnd all of them good friendsYou found out you haven't got anyNobody come aroundBut the landlord and the taxmanYour ex-wife who saysShe wants more alimonyThen there's a knock on the doorAnd it's a woman you don't knowSays she's having your babyShe'll walk on inBut oh just as soonas the money roll inHere they all come sayingsThat they're you're long lost friendsBut if I ever get my handsOn a dollar againI believe, I believe I'll hold onTill the eagle winsCause I found outNobody wants youWhen you're down and outNobody wants youWhen you're down and outNobody wants youWhen you're down and outNobody wants youWhen you're down and outNobody wants youWhen you're down and outNobody wants youWhen you're down and outNobody wants youWhen you're down and outNobody, nobody, nobody
