Man On The Street (Studio Outtake - 1961)

And I'll sing you a song, ain't very long
'Bout an old man who never done wrong
How he died nobody can say
They found him dead in the street one day

Well, the crowd, they gathered one fine morn'
At the man whose clothes and shoes were torn
There on the sidewalk he did lay
They stopped and stared and walked their way

Well, the policemen come, and he looked around
"Get up, old man, or I'm takin' you down"
He jabbed him once with his billy club
And the old man then rolled off the curb

Well, he jabbed him again and loudly said
"Call the wagon, this man is dead"
The wagon come, they loaded him in
I never saw the man again

Well, I've sung you my song, it ain't very long
'Bout an old man who never done wrong
How he died no one can say
They found him dead in the street one day
