《Skid Row Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Skid Row Joe - Porter Wagoner

[00:00:10] Last night that's who I found in the dirty part of town

[00:00:21] Lost forgotten with no place to go

[00:00:30] Tormented with a bitter taste outcast by the human race

[00:00:39] A mask of torture was the face of Skid Row Joe

[00:00:50] He walked up to where I stood on the street

[00:00:53] Said pardon me Mister now I don't want your money

[00:00:58] Though heaven knows I could use it

[00:01:01] But you see this is my home

[00:01:04] And you see the other bar down the street

[00:01:06] Well that's my home too

[00:01:09] I noticed you starin' at me a while ago

[00:01:12] You recognized me didn't

[00:01:15] I said yeah Joe I know who you are

[00:01:19] You was one time a real famous singing star

[00:01:23] One of my favorites

[00:01:26] He said I guess you heard they took my babies away from me

[00:01:32] I said yeah Joe I read about it in the papers

[00:01:38] Then he turned his head away

[00:01:40] And I saw the tears fall in the place

[00:01:44] And he said you know Mister

[00:01:47] This is the only place in the world

[00:01:50] I'm not ashamed to show my face

[00:01:55] But I'm gonna quit yes sir I'm gonna quit

[00:01:58] And I'm gonna shave cut my hair

[00:02:01] Get me a clean white shirt

[00:02:06] Then I'm gonna walk up to her door

[00:02:09] When she answers

[00:02:11] I'm gonna stand up real proud and tall

[00:02:16] Then I'm gonna get on my knees

[00:02:20] Now I'll say sweetheart if you'll take me back

[00:02:26] I'll spend the rest of my life making up to you

[00:02:29] For what I've done

[00:02:31] I'm so ashamed of myself

[00:02:34] And this I want you to know

[00:02:38] Then I'm gonna take my two little babies

[00:02:41] And I'm gonna hold them so close to me

[00:02:44] I ain't gonna never let them go

[00:02:49] I guess I should've told him then

[00:02:52] That she'd already remarried again

[00:02:56] But after hearing what he'd said to me

[00:03:00] Why there wasn't no way I could add to his misery

[00:03:04] So I said good luck my best to you Skid Row Joe
