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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One of my favorites[00:01:23]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When she answers[00:02:09]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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