Beggar Man Lyrics - Molly Hatchet

He's like the gutter people babe 

No pride his face displays 

Has he slept for hours or has he lain there many days? 

Still there's a smile on his face 

Through all the dirt and grime 

At least a credit due the man 

He don't stoop down to crime. 

Yeah, people pass him on the street 

They hide their face in shame 

He's treated poorly with disgrace 

Man without a name 

Just another one of life's many heroes 

Of a bourbon society 

Well it's a case of livin' hard-reality 

Chorus: 

Beggar man you got to stand up real tall 

Life is no where at all 

Beggar man you got to live for today 

Don't take your heart and throw it away. 

Beggin' life's a hassle baby 

People can't you see 

Daddy was a real proud man 

Bad luck brought him to his knees 

Might be standin' there 

Yea beggin' you for a buck 

Why doncha just give it to him 

It might just change his luck. 

Chorus: 

Beggar man you got to stand up real tall 

Life is no where at all 

Beggar man you got to live for today 

Don't take your heart and throw it away.
