| Well not long ago I was a happy man
|
| Money in my pockets with the rings on my hands
|
| My money’s all Gone and I’m feelin’low
|
| Standin’on the corner of Skid Row
|
| My girl friend left me she don’t want me no more
|
| We had a great big fight just a night before
|
| She said I got no class because she knows
|
| I’ve been hangin’around on Skid Row
|
| Well people walk by and they stop and stare
|
| They giggle and they stickle at the clothes I wear
|
| It’s just another day like it always goes
|
| When you’re hangin’around on Skid Row
|
| I got an old John Beam with the pain more through
|
| Got a great big hole in the bottom of my shoe
|
| My wine’s all gone and I need some more
|
| Standin’on the corner of Skid Row
|
| Well people walk by and they stop and stare
|
| They giggle and they stickle at the clothes I wear
|
| It’s just another day like it always goes
|
| When you’re hangin’around on Skid Row |
