Skid Row Lyrics - Merle Haggard

Well not long ago I was a happy man 

Money in my pockets with the rings on my hands 

My money's all Gone and I'm feelin' low 

Standin' on the corner of Skid Row 

My girl friend left me she don't want me no more 

We had a great big fight just a night before 

She said I got no class because she knows 

I've been hangin' around on Skid Row 

Well people walk by and they stop and stare 

They giggle and they stickle at the clothes I wear 

It's just another day like it always goes 

When you're hangin' around on Skid Row 

I got an old John Beam with the pain more through 

Got a great big hole in the bottom of my shoe 

My wine's all gone and I need some more 

Standin' on the corner of Skid Row
