Beggar standin´ on the corner sing your song
Sing it for a dime
Bring them all the pain you carried down the line
Your music´s flying past their ears
Goin through your troubles for the herd to follow

The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow
Movin´ down the ladder slow
Where your friends on knee will help you
And the cup-o tin you carry
Is just a ticket to get you in

Beggar standin´ on the corner dry your eye
You´re tiring now
The tears you´re tastin´now are only salty time
Your music´s lasted thru the year
Goin´ through your troubles for the herd to follow
The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow
Movin´ down the ladder slow
Where your friends on knee will help you
And the crown of thorns you´re wearing
Is just a ticket to get you in

The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow
Movin´ down the ladder slow
Where your friends on knee will help you

The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow
Movin´ down the ladder slow
Where your friends on knee will help you
