Skid Row Joe

(Freddie Hart)

Skid Row Joe
Last night that's who I found in the dirty part of town
Lost forgotten with no place to go
Tormented with a bitter taste outcast by the human race
A mask of torture was the face of Skid Row Joe.

He walked up to where I stood on the street
Said pardon me Mister now don't get me wrong I don't want your money
Though heaven knows I could use it
But you see this is my home and you see the other bar down the street
Well, that's my home too
I noticed you starin' at me a while ago, you recognized me didn't you
I said, yeah Joe, I know who you are
You was one time a real famous singing star, one of my favorites
He said, well, I guess you heard they took my babies away from me
I said, yeah Joe, I read about it in the papers
Then he turned his head away and I saw the tears fall in the place
And he turned to me and he said you know Mister
This is the only place in the world that I'm not ashamed to show my face
But I'm gonna quit, yes sir, I'm gonna quit
And I'm gonna shave and comb my hair and me a clean white shirt
Then I'm gonna walk up to her door
When she answers I'm gonna stand up real proud and tall
Then I'm gonna get on my knees
Then I'll say sweetheart if you'll take me back
I'll spend the rest of my life makin' up to you for what I've done
I'm so ashamed of myself and this I want you to know
Then I'm gonna take my two little babies
And I'm gonna hold 'em so close to me
I ain't gonna never let 'em go
I guess I should've told him then that she'd already remarried again
But after hearin' what he'd said to me
Why there wasn't no way I could add to his misery
So I said good luck my best to you Skid Row Joe...


Mirror lyrics:

So I said good luck my best to you Skid Row Joe...
Why there wasn't no way I could add to his misery
But after hearin' what he'd said to me
I guess I should've told him then that she'd already remarried again
I ain't gonna never let 'em go
And I'm gonna hold 'em so close to me
Then I'm gonna take my two little babies
I'm so ashamed of myself and this I want you to know
I'll spend the rest of my life makin' up to you for what I've done
Then I'll say sweetheart if you'll take me back
Then I'm gonna get on my knees
When she answers I'm gonna stand up real proud and tall
Then I'm gonna walk up to her door
And I'm gonna shave and comb my hair and me a clean white shirt
But I'm gonna quit, yes sir, I'm gonna quit
