Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out - Bessie Smith

Once I lived the life Of a millionaire Spending my money Oh I didn't care Taking my friends out For a mighty good time Oh we'd drink that good gin Champagne and wine But oh just as soon As my money got low I couldn't find nobody And I had no place to go And if I ever get my hands On a dollar again I'm gonna hold on Till the eagle wins Cause I found out Nobody wants you When you're down and out Nobody wants you When you're down and out Lord have mercy Yeah, yeah, now listen Now in your pocket There's not one penny And all of them good friends You found out you haven't got any Nobody come around But the landlord and the taxman Your ex-wife who says She wants more alimony Then there's a knock on the door And it's a woman you don't know Says she's having your baby She'll walk on in But oh just as soon As the money roll in Here they all come sayings That they're you're long lost friends But if I ever get my hands On a dollar again I believe, I believe I'll hold on Till the eagle wins Cause I found out 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 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 Nobody wants you When you're down and out Nobody, nobody, nobody

Once I lived the life of a millionaire, Spending all my money, I didn't care. Taking my friends out for a magic time, Bought whiskey, champagne and wine. Then I began to fall so low, Lost all my good friends, I didn't know where to go. If I get my hands on a dollar again, I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins. Cause no, no, nobody knows you When you're down and out. In my pocket, not one penny, And my friends, I haven't any. When I finally get back up on my feet again, Everybody wanna be my long-lost friend. It's mighty strange, without a doubt, Nobody knows you when you're down and out. Nobody... when you're down and out. Nobody knows you When you're down and out. In my pocket, not one penny, And my friends, I haven't any. When I get myself back on my feet again, Everybody wanna be my long-lost friend. It's mighty strange, without a doubt, Nobody knows you when you're down and out. ...when you're down and out. ...when you're down and out.

La vida de un millonario La tuve un día y me pude gastar Mucho dinero, tequila y amor Con mis amigos la pasaba mejor Then I became to fall so low Lost all my good friends and I had nowhere to go If I ever get my hands on a dollar again Ni un solo peso, vi la vida al reves Cause no, no nobody knows you when you're down and out Cuando no tienes sitio donde caer Se fueron todos, la fiesta se acabó (oh, yeah) No tengo dinero, mi novia me dejo When you finally get back on your feet again Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend Set a smile strange without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out Nobody wants you... Ti-di-di, di-di, di, da-do Oh, yeah One more time I know I know I know I know Oh yeah, oh yeah Y es que a nadie le importa Cuando no tienes sitio donde caer In your pocket theres not one penny And ask for your friends, you find you ain't got any cause Y es que a nadie le importa Nobody knows you when you're down and out (oh. yeah) No hay perro que te ladre en la soledad (oh yeah, oh yeah) Ni siquiera ella (nobody) Ni siquiera ella (nobody) La soledad (wooohoo) Ni siquiera ella Te quiere acompañar (oh yeah) Nobody knows you when you're down and out

Where did your fate go? Was I just to fall on my own? If this room was full of lies Is that how you fooled me with love? I see how you changed me, I know what you said It don't make me hate you, I wish that it did I'm, I'm trying to find words, trying to make sense If I don't try, where do I find the lies between the lines? Why does it hurt so much? Won't understand, no, I can't let this go Oh, you made plans now, you can't shut me down Ah, you're advanced, but you can't tell them now No, you can't tell them how You face the pain while your days are numbered You took the highway, you've done it always You hurt this woman, you put your needs first And I've heard this many times in my head, but it still remains That you had all of this Oh-oh, you still search for bad Oh, you fought all of this You don't even know how bad it got So much for you're my one and only You'd say that you were all mine You knew that your words were hard to stand by I was scared of change, but then I complied even though it hurt I stayed and now I'm glad you have it all But there's things that you can't buy Glad that you said sorry, but habits they die hard Why, you want to offer me love that you don't have? Loving you exhausted me, baby, and you charged, you charged I'll take the high road, I've done it always Our time is old, there's only one way You hurt this woman, you put your needs first It's played out many times in my head, but it still remains That you had all of this Oh-oh, you still search for bad Oh, you fought all of this You don't even know how bad it goes So much for you're my one and only (You had all of this) (Oh, you still search for bad) So much for you're my one and only (You fought all of this) (You don't even know how bad it got) So much for you're my one and only I'll wait, I'll wait for faster Only I quit I'll wait, I'll wait for faster I'm all for that I'll wait, I'll wait for faster Only I quit I'll wait, I'll wait for faster I'm all for that
