At first it was just numbers, but then it was more!
Birthdays, anniversaries, name and places,
Like a deck of cards, without any aces!
(Chorus)
I don’t know nothin’, 'cause my brain wore out!
Under my hat, there’s just grey hair!
Aside from that, there’s not much there!
If we ever meet on the street again,
I hope that I would greet you like a long lost friend,
But now I fear I’d just stare in doubt,
You see - I don’t know nothing, 'cause my brain wore out!

Lyrics
Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spent all my money, I just did not care Took all my friends out for a good time Bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go I get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins
'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
