Skidrow Songtext
von Merle Haggard

Well not long ago, I was a happy man
Money in my pockets with a ring on my hand
My money′s all gone and I'm feelin′ low
Standin' on the corner of Skid Row

I got an old John Beam with a Van Moore crew
A great big hole in my blue suede shoe
My wine's all gone and I need some more
Standin′ on the corner of Skid Row


Well people walk by, they stop and stare
They giggle and snicker at the clothes I wear
It′s just another day, like it always goes
When you're hangin′ around on Skid Row

Well, 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 snicker at the clothes I wear
It′s just another day, like it always goes
When you're hangin' around on Skid Row

When you′re hangin′ around on Skid Row
When you're hangin′ around on Skid Row
When you're hangin′ around on Skid Row
