Man On The Street
I'll sing you a song
Ain't very long
'Bout an old man who never done wrong
How he died nobody can say
They found him dead in the street one day
Well
The crowd
They gathered one fine morn
At the man whose clothes 'n' shoes were torn
There on the sidewalk he did lay
They stopped 'n' stared 'n' walked their way
Well
The p'liceman come and he looked around
Get up
Old man
Or I'm a takin' you down
He jabbed him once with his billy club
And the old man then rolled off the curb
Well
He jabbed him again and loudly said
Call the wagon
This man is dead
The wagon come
They loaded him in
I never saw the man again
I've sung you my song
It ain't very long
'Bout an old man who never done wrong
How he died no one can say
They found him dead in the street one day
