Row Joe
Last night that's who I found, in the dirty part of Lost, forgotten no place to go Tormented with a taste, outcast by the human race A of torture was the face of Skid Row Joe
He walked up to where I on the street Said, "Pardon me Mister, now get me wrong I don't your money though heaven knows I could use it"
"But you see this is my and you see The other bar the street, well that's my home too I noticed you at me a while ago You recognized me, you?"
I said, "Yeah, Joe I who you are You was one time a real famous star, one of my favorites"
He said, "Well I guess you heard they took my babies away me" I said, "Yeah, Joe I, I read it in the papers" Then he his head away and I saw the tears fall in the place
And he to me and he said, "You know Mister is the only place in the world that I'm not ashamed To show my face, but I'm gonna quit, yes sir I'm quit"
"And I'm gonna shave and my hair and get me a clean white shirt I'm gonna walk up to her door When she answers I'm stand up real proud and tall Then I'm get on my knees"
I'll say, "Sweetheart if you'll take me back I'll spend the of my life makin' up to you for what I've done I'm so of myself and this I want you to know"
"Then I'm take my two little babies And I'm gonna hold 'em so to me I gonna never let 'em go"
I guess I should've told him that she'd already remarried again But after hearin' he'd said to me Why wasn't no way I could add to his misery So I said, "Good luck, my to you"
