Man on the Street (Fragment) (Witmark Demo - 1962)

[Verse 1]

Well I'll sing you a song, it ain't very long

About an old man, he never done wrong

How he died no one can say

They found him dead in the street one day

[Verse 2]

Well, the crowd, they gathered one fine morn

At the man whose clothes 'n' shoes were torn

There on the sidewalk he did lay

They stopped 'n' stared 'n' they went their way

[Verse 3]

Well, the p'liceman come and he looked around

"Get up, old man, or I'm takin' you down."

And he jabbed him once with his bully club

The old man then rolled off the curb

Well, hmm Jesus I can't get it, I-I lost the verses
