Freddie Hart - Hungry Row lyrics

Walking in my shabby coat and boy it sure is cold Trying to get a hang-out here on Hungry Row I'll wash your dishes I'll chop your wood For bite I'll scrub your clothes Cause beggars can't be choosers here on Hungry Row Once I had the chance to see my little children grow And my woman's love I've thought I had there's heavy on my soul I've lost my wife to another man it's a story too many times told Now I try to escape from her memory here on Hungry Row Riding on an old freight car my future's black as coal Depression's my companion here on Hungry Row If you see me pa**in' by don't turn up your nose I know someone just like you right here on Hungry Row We all started out with big ideas love and money was our goal And if it happens to you then you'll welcome to your place on Hungry Row If it happens to you then you'll welcome to your place on Hungry Row Hungry Row
