Down and Out Blues Songtext
von Trader Horne

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Had a lot of money, I hadn′t a care
Took all my friends out for good times
Buying champagne, liquor and plenty of wine
Then when my money began to get low
Didn't have no friends, no place to go
Ever I get my hands on a dollar again
I′m gonna squeeze it until that eagle grins


No, nobody wants you
When you're down and out
In my pocket's not one penny
All your pretty friends, you haven′t any
Then when you find your feet again
Everybody wants to come be your long-lost friend
Mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you′re down and out

No, nobody wants you
When you're down and out

In your pocket′s not one penny
All your pretty friends, you haven't any
Then when you find your feet again

Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
Mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
Nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
It′s mighty strange that nobody wants you
When you're down and out
