Lyrics

Crow Pie Blues

Old Joe?s in the alley empty bottle in his hands
Face down in the gutter this ain?t no Promised Land
No shirt on his back no shoes on his feet
No money in his pockets and nothing to eat

Crow Pie Blues(3)

Beggin? for a handout beggin? like a dog
Diggin? through the dumpster that?s where he found God
Said ?God I?m so hungry I?m gonna die?
God said ?not today try some of this good crow pie

Repeat chorus

Old Joe?s living on the side of the road
Go ahead and throw the bum a chicken bone

It?s hardest for the hopeless some things never change
You can turn your back but old Joe won?t go away
Takin? all he can takin? anything he gets
It?ll never be enough when it?s scraped up just like shit

Repeat chorus
