《Skid Row Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Skid Row Joe last night that's

[00:00:10] Who I found in the dirty part of town

[00:00:18] Lost forgotten with no place to go

[00:00:26] Tormented with a bitter taste outcast by the human race

[00:00:35] A mask of torture was the face of Skid Row Joe

[00:00:46] He walked up to where I stood on the street

[00:00:49] Said pardon me Mister now don't get me wrong

[00:00:53] I don't want your money

[00:00:55] Though heaven knows I could use it

[00:00:58] But you see this is my home and you see the other bar down the street

[00:01:03] Well that's my home too

[00:01:07] I noticed you starin' at me a while ago you recognized me didn't you

[00:01:11] I said yeah Joe I know who you are

[00:01:15] You was one time a real famous singing star one of my favorites

[00:01:22] He said well I guess you heard they took my babies away from me

[00:01:25] I said yeah Joe I read about it in the papers

[00:01:30] Then he turned his head away and I saw the tears fall in the place

[00:01:35] And he turned to me and he said you know Mister

[00:01:38] This is the only place in the world that I'm not ashamed to show my face

[00:01:44] But I'm gonna quit yes sir I'm gonna quit

[00:01:47] And I'm gonna cut my hair and shave and get me a clean white shirt

[00:01:53] Then I'm gonna walk up to her door

[00:01:56] When she answers I'm gonna stand up real proud and tall

[00:02:01] Then I'm gonna get on my knees

[00:02:04] Then I'll say sweetheart if you'll take me back

[00:02:08] I'll spend the rest of my life makin' up to you for what I've done

[00:02:13] I'm so ashamed of myself and this I want you to know

[00:02:18] Then I'm gonna take my two little babies and I'm gonna hold 'em so close to me

[00:02:23] I ain't gonna never let 'em go

[00:02:27] I guess I should've told him then that she'd already remarried again

[00:02:34] But after hearin' what he'd said to me

[00:02:36] Why there wasn't no way I could add to his misery

[00:02:40] So I said good luck my best to you Skid Row Joe
