Poor old man came from[00:00:05]
Mississippi[00:00:07]
Nothin'on his mind but a cheap fifth of whiskey[00:00:08]
Playin' his guitar got into the city[00:00:10]
Workin' on the streets just to make a living[00:00:13]
Well he could sing those coffee house blues[00:00:17]
Mississippi[00:00:26]
John made it look so easy[00:00:26]
Cigarette behind his ear[00:00:28]
His eye are lookin' misty[00:00:29]
Really let go when the bottle's half empty[00:00:31]
Singing it loud his voice is kinda gritty[00:00:33]
He knows he's got nothin' to prove[00:00:38]
He spends his time playin' in the city[00:00:47]
Won't you lay your money down[00:00:53]
Watchful eyes for someone who will listen[00:00:57]
Won't you lay your money down[00:01:03]
Everybody said he'd be better off leavin'[00:01:12]
And he knew in his heart[00:01:15]
That he better start believing[00:01:16]
Better use the talent[00:01:17]
That the good lord gave him[00:01:18]
To get out of this place[00:01:20]
He don't need a good reason[00:01:21]
He's giving heart and soul to you[00:01:24]
He spends his time playin' in the city[00:01:33]
Won't you lay your money down[00:01:39]
Watchful eyes for someone who will listen[00:01:42]
Won't you lay your money down[00:01:49]
Look downtown see the man on the corner[00:02:15]
Working so hard just get a dollar[00:02:17]
People walk my want to call him a beggar[00:02:19]
Don't want too much[00:02:22]
He's just taking what they offer[00:02:23]
Well he's playing each note for you[00:02:26]
Well he spends his time playin' in the city[00:02:34]
Won't you lay your money down[00:02:41]
Watchful eyes for someone who will listen[00:03:01]
Won't you lay your money down[00:03:33]
