    Rag-Picker Joe

    On a stroll,
    along a Southside dole.
    To collect my thoughts
    and learn what I used to know.

    Ambling down the street
    friend to all he meets
    here comes Rag-Picker Joe:

    "Hey hey man,
    you got a pistol in your hand.
    Don't go doing the things
    we often talked about..."

    Rag-Picker Joe,
    it's our lives now don't you know?
    It just ain't worth doing all that time...

    Sally Sue came back
    took his Cadillac
    her brothers jacked him up
    and left him on the curb.

    This is life in the city
    we got our ways and our means.
    Rag-Picker Joe...

    He said:
    "Man
    I got the upper hand,
    gonna win this war
    come high water or ice."

    Rag-Picker Joe
    why did you go do
    all those things you did?

    Rag-Picker Joe
    do do do do...
    those things we talked about in jest.

    That's the last I seen of old Joe
    he got blown away by the tornado
    an act of God but absolutely just.

    Rag-Picker Joe
    why did you go do
    things we often talked about in jest?

    Rag-Picker Joe
    blown away by a tornado
    sad case but what did we expect?
