  • By: jimmy buffett
  • 1971
  • Hardly seems a long time
  • Just a minute of the day
  • But the man who stood beside me
  • More than gave himself away
  • The food stain on his spotted shirt
  • A gray beard on his face
  • A man composed of many names
  • So i just called him ace
  • Chorus:
  • But ace can't read and ace can't write
  • And he sleeps on a bench at night
  • A little man the world has left behind
  • He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet
  • Makes his living on the street
  • Never knowing what he's gonna find
  • Born in mississippi
  • Picking cotton as a child
  • Left soon for the city
  • Where he heard that life was wild
  • That was fifty years ago
  • When nothing's really strange
  • >from a poor dirt farm to dirty streets
  • Is really not much change
  • Chorus:
  • And ace can't read and ace can't write
  • And he sleeps on a bench at night
  • A little man the world has left behind
  • He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet
  • Makes his living on the street
  • Never knowing what he's gonna find
  • Go back to the country
  • No he really can't do that
  • Wasted years have left him
  • Nothing but an old straw hat
  • So he puts it on his head
  • And waves a last good-bye
  • No time left to turn around
  • And no time to ask why
  • Chorus:
  • Ace can't read and ace can't write
  • And he sleeps on a bench at night
  • A little man the world has left behind
  • He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet
  • Makes his living on the street
  • Never knowing what he's gonna find
  • And this old world has left poor ace behind
