Oldies
Mungo Jerry - Tramp
Versuri/text:
The sun was low
And the shadow was cold
On the pale drawn face
That was wrinkled and old
A newspaper coat
Hanging loose 'round his throat
And the shoes on his feet
Strips of leather tied up with rope
His uncombed hair
And eyes that would stare
At the people passing by
Who didn't know or didn't care
Chorus:
This poor old man he's all alone
He's got no money or no home of his own
The back street's his kitchen
The footpath's his hall
And the chalk on the brick work
Are the pictures on his wall
And he lays down his head
On the pavement that's his bed
And when he sleeps
His dreams fade away
He walks down the street
With his hands in his coat
Looking down at his feet
For a dog-end he could smoke
He thinks about food
Good drinking and good fun
As he searches through the dustbins
His life almost done
Chorus
