Align:    
  • Old man down, way down down, down by the docks of the city.
  • Blind and dirty, asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of coffee.
  • I got no dime but I got some time to hear his story.
  • My name is august west, and I love my pearly baker best more than my wine.
  • More than my wine - more than my maker, though hes no friend of mine.
  • Everyone said, Id come to no good, I knew I would pearly, believe them.
  • Half of my life, I spent doin time for some other *****ers crime,
  • The other half found me stumbling round drunk on burgundy wine.
  • But Ill get back on my feet again someday,
  • The good lord willin, if he says I may.
  • I know that the life Im livins no good,
  • Ill get a new start, live the life I should.
  • Ill get up and fly away, Ill get up and fly away, fly away.
  • Pearlys been true, true to me, true to my dyin day he said,
  • I said to him, I said to him, Im sure shes been.
  • I said to him, Im sure shes been true to you.
  • Got up and wandered, wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around.
  • Ive got a girl, named bonnie lee, I know that girls been true to me.
  • I know shes been, Im sure shes been true to me.
