ira kaplan & friends - wharf rat lyrics
old man down, way down down, down by the docks of the city.
blind and dirty, asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of coffee.
i got no dime but i got some time to hear his story.
my name is august west, and i love my pearly baker best more than my wine.
more than my wine – more than my maker, though he’s no friend of mine.
everyone said, i’d come to no good, i knew i would pearly, believe them.
half of my life, i spent doin’ time for some other f-cker’s crime,
the other half found me stumbling ’round drunk on burgundy wine.
but i’ll get back on my feet again someday,
the good lord willin’, if he says i may.
i know that the life i’m livin’s no good,
i’ll get a new start, live the life i should.
i’ll get up and fly away, i’ll get up and fly away, fly away.
pearly’s been true, true to me, true to my dyin’ day he said,
i said to him, i said to him, “i’m sure she’s been.”
i said to him, “i’m sure she’s been tru to you.”
got up and wandered, wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around.
i’ve got a girl, named bonnie lee, i know that girl’s been true to me.
i know she’s been, i’m sure she’s been true to me.
