G
Sing you a song, not very long
G G/F# Em
'Bout an old man, never done wrong
G
How he died, no one can say
C C/B Am G Em
Found him dead on the street one day
G
Crowd gathered, one fine morn'
G G/F# Em
Man whose clothes and shoes was torn
G
On the sidewalk, he did lay
C C/B Am G Em
They stopped and stared and went their way
G
Policeman come, looked around,
G G/F# Em
"Get up old man, I'm taking you down,"
G
Jabbed him with his billy club
C C/B Am G Em
The old man then rolled off the curb
G
Jabbed him again, loudly said,
G G/F# Em
"Call the wagon, this man is dead,"
G
Wagon come, they loaded him in
C C/B Am G Em
I never saw that man again
G
Sang you my song, wasn't very long
G G/F# Em
'Bout an old man, never done wrong
G
How he died, no one can say
C C/B Am G Em
Found him dead on the street one day
