Well not long ago I was a happy man Money in my pockets with the rings on my hands My money's all Gone and I'm feelin' low Standin' on the corner of Skid Row My girl friend left me she don't want me no more We had a great big fight just a night before She said I got no class because she knows I've been hangin' around on Skid Row Well people walk by and they stop and stare They giggle and they stickle at the clothes I wear It's just another day like it always goes When you're hangin' around on Skid Row I got an old John Beam with the pain more through Got a great big hole in the bottom of my shoe My wine's all gone and I need some more Standin' on the corner of Skid Row Well people walk by and they stop and stare They giggle and they stickle at the clothes I wear It's just another day like it always goes When you're hangin' around on Skid Row
