[00:00.00]Nobody Knows You When You're Down &Out -Bessie Smith
[00:11.420]Once I lived the life of a millionaire
[00:17.218]Spending my money I didn't care
[00:21.852]I carried my friends out for a good time
[00:27.220]Buying bootleg liquor champagne and wine
[00:33.379]Then I began to fall so low
[00:37.883]I didn't have a friend and no place to go
[00:42.811]So if I ever get my hand on a dollar again
[00:47.893]I'm gonna hold on to it till them eagle's grin
[00:54.739]Nobody knows you when you down and out
[01:05.504]In my pocket not one penny
[01:10.832]And my friends I haven't any
[01:15.332]But If I ever get on my feet again
[01:21.288]Then I'll meet my long lost friend
[01:26.456]It's mighty strange without a doubt
[01:31.960]Nobody knows you when you down and out
[01:36.496]I mean when you down and out
[02:09.67]Mmmmm when you're down and out
[02:19.660]Mmmmm not one penny
[02:25.396]And my friends I haven't any
[02:29.732]Mmmmm well I felt so low
[02:35.664]Nobody wants me round their door
[02:40.146]Mmmmm without a doubt
[02:46.80]No man can use you wen you down and out
[02:50.323]I mean when you down and out
