Artist/Band: Mungo Jerry
Lyrics for Song: Tramp
Lyrics for Album: Mungo Jerry [2003]



The sun was low, and the shadow was cold


On the pale drawn face, that was wrinkled and old


A newspaper coat, hanging loose 'round his throat


And the shoes on his feet, strips of leather tied up with rope


His uncombed hair, and eyes that would stare


At the people passing by, who didn't know or didn't care





[Chorus:]


This poor old man he's all alone


He's got no money or no home of his own


The back street's his kitchen


The footpath's his hall


And the chalk on the brick work


Are the pictures on his wall


He lays down his head


On the pavement that's his bed


And when he sleeps, his dreams fade away





He walks down the street, with his hands in his coat


Looking down at his feet, for a dog-end he could smoke


He thinks about food, good drinking and good fun


As he searches through the dustbins, his life almost done





[Chorus:]
