One More Dime

(альбом: Skidrow Joe - Down In The Alley - 1970)

Standing on the corner of a busy crowded street
A holding out my hand to all the people that I meet
I've been here all morning and I've got to have my wine
And I'd have enough to buy it if I had one more dime
Mister have you got a dime hey Miss how 'bout you
Have pity on an old man so I can buy some food
Folks don't give you money if you say that it's for wine
So I tell them if I could buy some food if I had one more dime

If I had one more dime then I would have enough
To buy me wine to last me till tomorrow
If I had one more dime then I would have my cup of joy and I'd forget my sorrow
I could leave the past behind forget a love that once was mine
I could buy my peace of mind if I had one more dime
