Song Man

On the sidewalks of Savannah

There's an old man ragged and blind

He don't beg an' he don't steal

And he don't fool with wine

With an old guitar in his wrinkled hands

A thousand songs in his mind

You can't keep your heart from lovin'

The song man when you hear him cry

"Song Man, one song for a dime

I got songs that'll make ya happy

And songs that'll make ya cry

I got a special poor man's blues"

"Two for the price of one

It won't cost you a thing to hear me

Sing my favorite Gospel song"

"Lord, I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home

I've been a fightin' the devil too long

Lord, I'm comin' home"

All the old timers in Savannah

Have known him all of their lives

And they all say that he's done seen

A hundred years go by

With an old dog he calls Govenor John

He starts at the break of dawn

And he don't stop as long as someone

Wants to hear him sing a song

"Song Man, one song for a dime

I got songs that'll make ya happy

And songs that'll make ya cry

I got a special poor man's blues"

"Two for the price of one

It won't cost you a thing to hear me

Sing my favorite Gospel song"

"Lord, I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home

I've been a fightin' the devil too long

Lord, I'm comin' home"

Lord, I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home

I've been a fightin' the devil too long

Lord, I'm comin' home
