Skid Row - Merle Haggard

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 feeling low

Standing on the corner of 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 hanging around on 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 hanging 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 hanging around on Skid Row

When you're hanging around on Skid Row

When you're hanging around on Skid Row

When you're hanging around
