Lyrics Donut Man - Rita Coolidge

Donut Man

On the corner of Fifth and Main
By the old riverbed near the railroad train
There's a shop, near the track
And the owner works in the back
He's got a hole in his shirt and a hole in his shoe
He walks around without a whole lot to do
He's got no car and got no clothes
He do what he does it's all he knows

He's a donut man (Donut man), doin' what he can (Ah ha)
Happy everyday nothin' to lose he's found his way
He's a donut man (Donut man), doin' what he can (What he can)
Happy everyday nothin' to lose he's found his way

For at least ten years and a day
He's been going out of his way
To give what he's got
And the lord sees he gives a lot
Now the folks laid down, one thin down
For this he gives all his time
And on his face, a beautiful smile
His love reachin' out all the while

He's a donut man (Donut man), doin' what he can (Ah ha)
Happy everyday nothin' to lose he's found his way
He's a donut man (Donut man), doin' what he can (What he can)
Happy everyday nothin' to lose he's found his way

As the children grew up and he grew old
His hands got shaky and the shop was sold
On many a lip as the story been told
There ain't nothing left but a donut hole

He's a donut man (Donut man), doin' what he can (Ah ha)
Happy everyday nothin' to lose he's found his way
He's a donut man (Donut man), doin' what he can (What he can)
Every other day he gives them away
Everybody loves a donut man

He's a donut man (Donut man), doin' what he can (Ah ha)
Happy everyday nothin' to lose he's found his way
He's a donut man (Donut man), doin' what he can (What he can)
Every other day he gives them away
Everybody loves a donut man

On many a lip has his story been told
There ain't nothing left but a donut hole (donut hole)
