Bessie Smith sings Jimmy Fox' "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out"







Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spendin' my money I didn't care
I carried my friends out for a good time,
Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine.
When I begin to fall so low,
I didn't have a friend and no place to go.
So if I ever get my hand on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hold on to it 'til them eagles grin.
Nobody knows you,
When you down and out.
In my pocket not one penny,
And my friends I haven't any.
