Nobody wants you when you're Down and Out
Jimmy Cox 1923
Reflects the fleeting nature of material wealth and the friendships that come and go with it. Written in the Prohibition era.
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money and I didn't care
Taking my friends out for a mighty good time
Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low
Didin't have nobody and no place to go.
If I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on to it till that eagle grins.
No, nobody wants you, when you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny and your friend, you ain't got any.
But as you get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend.
Mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out.
