| 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 fucker'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 true 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. |
