Artist/Band: Skeeter Davis
Lyrics for Song: Have You Seen This Man
Lyrics for Album: I'll Sing You a Song and Harmonize Too (RCA Victor [1959]



(Marie Wilson - Skeeter Davis - Justin Tubb)



See that man there on the corner

He can call his life his own

Dressed in rags and eyes so empty

He's like a statue made of stone.



Yet he chose this way of living

Another life that God had planned

And each day he's sinking lower

With that bottle in his hand.



Do you ever stop to wonder

Have you really seen this man

Or do you see just another bum

With a bottle in his hand?



--- Instrumental ---



Yes, he sleeps in dingy alleys

But great love this man has known

And each time our baby calls for him

It cuts me to the bone.



He was once so proud and worthy

Of a love at his command

But he lost it all forever

For that bottle in his hand.



If you ask me, yes, I love him

But I just can't understand

But you help me find the answer

To that bottle in his hands...


Have You Seen This Man

Skeeter Davis delivers a soulful rendition of 'Have You Seen This Man' on her 1959 RCA Victor album, I'll Sing You a Song and Harmonize Too. As a pioneering figure in country music, Davis transformed traditional gospel and spiritual themes into accessible pop-country hits that resonated across the nation. Her voice, characterized by its warmth and emotional depth, became synonymous with the genre's golden age. This recording exemplifies her ability to blend religious devotion with mainstream appeal, influencing countless subsequent artists who sought to bridge the gap between church and concert halls. The track remains a testament to her enduring legacy as a vocalist who defined the sound of mid-century country music.
