Lyrics:
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 eagle's grin
Nobody knows you, when you down and out
In my pocket not one penny, and my friends I haven't any ...
