Old man down,

Way down down, down by the docks of the city.

Blind and dirty, 
 Em                                       Asus2
Asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of coffee. 
   Em                D                          Asus2
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, 
                                                         A  D  A
The other half found me stumbling 'round drunk on Burgundy wine

But I'll get back      on my feet again someday,

Break:
 Em
I'll get up and fly away, 
                           Asus2
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.
