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
AND 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
STARING 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
SINGIN' STAR
ONE OF MY
FAVORITES
HE SAID
WELL I GUESS
YOU HEARD
THEY TOOK MY
BABIES AWAY
FROM ME
I SAID YEAH JOE I
I READ ABOUT IT
IN THE PAPERS
THEN HE TURNED
HIS HEAD AWAY AND
I SAW THE TEARS
FALL INTO PLACE
AND HE TURNED
TO ME
AND 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
GET ME
A CLEAN WHITE
SHIRT
THEN I'M GONNA
WALK UP TO
HER DOOR
AND WHEN SHE
ANSWERS
I'M GONNA
STAND UP
REAL PROUD
AND TALL
THEN I'M GONNA
GET ON
MY KNEES
AND 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
