[00:00:00] Skid Row Joe

[00:00:08] Last night that's who I found

[00:00:13] In the dirty part of town

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

[00:00:26] Tormented with a bitter taste

[00:00:30] Outcast by the human race

[00:00:35] A mask of torture was

[00:00:37] The face of Skid Row Joe

[00:00:44] He walked up to

[00:00:45] Where I stood on the street

[00:00:48] Said "Pardon me Mister

[00:00:51] 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"

[00:00:59] "But you see this is

[00:01:01] My home and you see

[00:01:03] The other bar down the street

[00:01:06] That's my home too

[00:01:10] You said

[00:01:10] I noticed you starin' at me a while ago

[00:01:12] You recognized me

[00:01:13] Didn't you "

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

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

[00:01:23] One of my favorites"

[00:01:28] He said "Well I guess you heard

[00:01:29] They took my babies away from me"

[00:01:33] I said "Yeah Joe

[00:01:35] I read about it in the papers"

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

[00:01:41] And I saw the tears fall in the place

[00:01:44] And he turned to me and he said

[00:01:47] "You know Mister

[00:01:49] This is the only place in the world

[00:01:52] That I'm not ashamed

[00:01:53] To show my face but I'm gonna quit

[00:01:59] Yes sir I'm gonna quit"

[00:02:01] "And I'm gonna shave and comb my hair

[00:02:04] And get me a clean white shirt

[00:02:07] Then I'm gonna walk up to her door

[00:02:10] When she answers

[00:02:13] I'm gonna stand up real proud and tall

[00:02:17] Then I'm gonna get on my knees"

[00:02:20] Then I'll say "Sweetheart

[00:02:22] If you'll take me back

[00:02:25] I'll spend the rest of my life

[00:02:26] Makin' up to you for what I've done

[00:02:30] I'm so ashamed of myself

[00:02:32] And this I want you to know"

[00:02:35] "Then I'm gonna take my two little babies

[00:02:37] And I'm hold them so close to me

[00:02:40] I ain't gonna never let them go"

[00:02:45] I guess I should've told him then

[00:02:48] That she'd already remarried again

[00:02:52] But after hearin' what he'd said to me

[00:02:56] Why there wasn't no way

[00:02:57] I could add to his misery

[00:02:59] So I said "Good luck and my best to you"
