Nobody Knows You

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Once i lived the life of millionaire

People spending my money, honey

Lord, and i just didn't care, now lord

Takin' my friend out

Tryin' to have a good time

They drank that strong bootleg liquor

And that good old champagne and wine

Well, just as soon as my money got so low

I couldn't find my friends, lord

And i just didn't have no place to go

Now, no no

But if i ever, and if i ever get my hands

On them green dollars again, yeah

I'm gonna hold on

Till that big eagle grin, lord now

I'm trying to tell y'all

That nobody wants you

People, nobody wants you, no

When you're down and out, now now lord

Because in your pocket, no

There is not one penny

And all of them so-called friends

I'm trying to tell, y'all

That you haven't got any

But, yeah, and just as soon

As you get back on your feet again

People, i'm tryin' to tell you

That here they come

Tellin' you all

They're your long lost friend

Oh but i'm tryin' to tell everybody

Lord, without a doubt

That nobody wants you

Nobody wants you, no no

Nobody wants you, no

Nobody needs tou, nobody wants you

When you're down and out, lord

And nobody says a good thing about you

And nobody can tell you when to turn

And when to go...
