Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out Lyrics
from Layla
“Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out” is track #4 on the album Layla. It was written by Jimmie Cox.
Once, I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, I just did not care
Taking all my friend out for a good time
We bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
I lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
Never get my hand on a dollar again
I’m gonna hang on to it until the eagle grins
‘Cause no, no, no, nobody knows you
When you’re down and out
In your pocket [Incomprehensible], not one penny
And as for friends, you don’t have any
When you finally get back upon your feet again
Here comes everybody sayin’ they wanna be
A good old long-lost friend, [Incomprehensible] mighty strange
Nobody knows you when you’re down and out
I said, when you finally get back on your feet
Everybody wants to be a good old long-lost friend
You know it’s mighty strange, yeah, down and out
Nobody knows you, nobody knows you
Nobody, nobody knows you when you’re down and out

Obama is controlled.
His future, like most of us, is based on his performance.
His masters are insisting he do more - now - to destroy America, America is not conforming to this “charm” strategy.
Obama is in a pinch. He will do whatever his white overlords tell him to do. He is the black plantation boss after all.
Nope. Those closest think the narcissist is just dandy. They slip once in a while and hold a rational viewpoint temporarily, but most of the time, you’d think she walked on water.
nice!
Yuck
I have people like this in my family
It’s no picnic living with one of these creatures
Bessie Smith had a hit with this song before Eric Clapton was born.
Eric always respected the early Blues Artists that invented the genre, and always did a nice job paying tribute to them! :-)
I am glad you liked it.
:-)
Yes.
Absolutely...These people can cause utter chaos, damage etc...
In your pocket, there is not one penny
A good old long-lost friend, [Incomprehensible] mighty strange
YOUR good old long-lost friend,
Said it's mighty strange
How true. I had a narcissist boss a few years ago. Always lying, almost always on the verge of raging. Glad I got out of there.
Yeah...I know. I just copied and pasted. I should have proof read it.
Sorry.
Explains why he enjoys campaigning vs. governing. All the control and adoration on the campaign trail is his cup of tea.
It’s been my experience narcissist usually have a multitude of other mental issues along with their narcissistic disorders. They come with heavy luggage.
Bob Wills used to ride his daddy’s mule long ways through the Texas brush to go see Bessie Smith - he paid tribute to the Blues well enough too. He learned to love it from the shareholders picking cotton on the family farm
Share CROPPERS
That’s rhetorical, right?
Put a simpler way.... He’s acting like a brotha’ from the ‘hood.
I love the Blues.
I am the music Director of a Biker Gospel Church.
The congregation wants all blues, all the time!
It’s amazing how the Psalms can be metered to fit a 12bar template!
ABSOLUTELY 100%.
Yes they do & my son was married to one. Most hellish years of our life.
