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

Skid Row Joe[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He walked up to[00:00:44]

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

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

Now don't get me wrong[00:00:51]

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

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

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

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

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

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

You said[00:01:10]

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

You recognized me [00:01:12]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"You know Mister[00:01:47]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When she answers[00:02:10]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Skid Row Joe[00:03:06]
