I'll ^Gsing you a song it ain't very long, About an old man who never done ^Emwrong. ^GHow he died nobody can say, They found him dead in the street one ^Emday.

[Verse 2] (Pattern 1 / Pattern 2)

And the ^Gcrowd, they gathered one fine morn, At the man whose clothes 'n' shoes were ^Emtorn. ^GThere on the sidewalk he did lay, They stopped 'n' stared and they went their ^Emway.

Well, the ^Gp'liceman come and he looked around, "Get up, old man, or I'm a-takin' you ^Emdown." He ^Gjabbed him once with his bully club The old man then rolled off the ^Emcurb.

[Verse 4] (Pattern 2 / Pattern 2)

Well, he ^Gjabbed him again and loudly said, "Call the wagon; this man is ^Emdead." The ^Gwagon come, they loaded him in, I never saw the man a^Emgain.

I'm ^Gsingin' my song, it ain't very long, About an old man who never done ^Emwrong. ^GHow he died nobody could say, They found him dead in the street one ^Emday.
