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