"Beggar's Song" lyrics

"Beggar's Song," take one
"Beggar's Song," take one
Alright

Most of my life I have lived here on my own
Except for a few occasions
Now I've got to find myself a home
For a family I'll be raisin'

And it's hard to stay so sane, sir
But who am I to complain, sir?
And I wonder, can you spare some change, sir?

I can remember when younger
A kid at school they used to call a fool
And I no longer but stronger
I'm still the same fool
God, it's goddamn cruel

And it's hard just stay so sane, sir
But who am I to complain, sir?
Yeah, and I wonder, can you spare some change, sir?

Oh, and it's hard just stay so sane, sir
But who am I to complain, sir?
And I wonder, can you spare some change, sir?

I had a dog once, a good dog
Now it's dead
He's the bottom, he's the beggar
Over the hills I go, swingin' high
Oh, oh

And it's hard to stay so sane, sir
But who am I to complain, sir?
And I wonder, can you spare some change, sir?

'Cause I'm feeling kinda down in my pocket, sir
And I'm not a proud man, not a proud man, not a proud man
I'm beggin', I'm beggin', I'm askin' ya, pleadin' you
'Cause I'm feeling kinda down in my heart, sir
And I don't know what to do, I'm feelin' so blue
And I'm beggin' you
Beggin' you, beggin' you

And I don't know if my heart, it should stay, it's right here
But I'm feelin' so sick and sore
And I need somebody praying tonight
Don't you know?
So, brother
