Текст песни Clapton, Eric - Nobody Knows You

NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT- Derek and the Dominos

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, just did not care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, yeah

Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any

When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you   when you're down and out

            Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out
                    (Eric Clapton Unplugged)

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending all my money didn't have any cares
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time
We bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, had no where to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'll hang on to it, till that old eagle grins

Because nobody loves you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have many.

When you get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend
I said it straight, without any doubt
Nobody knows you, when your down and out.
