Nobody knows me when I'm down and out Nobody knows me when I'm down and out If I ask them for a favour, they don't know what it's all about When I was down and in trouble, everybody forsakin' me When I was down and in trouble, everybody forsakin' me Nobody knows the troubles that I do see When you down and out, you ain't got a friend in town When you down and out, you ain't got a friend in town And when I get money they begin to come around Just as sure, baby, as one and one is two Just as sure, baby, as one and one is two Someday I'll have money and be up to date like you The sun's gonna shine in my back door someday The sun is gonna shine in my back door someday I'm down and out now, but I won't be down always
