Stoggy

Hauled back on a stoggy
Last one that I got
Took a sip of sherry
Man that hit the spot
Sittin is the life
But it sure ain’t easy
It can pay you well if you try
But I just ain’t that sleazy
I ain’t no king
Just a man on the road
I ain’t got no throne
No fancy clothes
All I got and need
Is on my back
I ain’t got me no Cadillac
All I got
Is all I need
And like I said
I wear on my back
No books, no movies
No magazines
No records or 45's
For them fancy record playin'machines
Life sure ain’t easy
And I ain’t no king
I got what I got
I don’t need me no other thing
I’m just a man on the road
And I ain’t got no throne
And no fancy clothes
All I got and need
Is on my back
I ain’t got me no Cadillac
All I got
Is all I need
And like I said
I wear on my back
I guess I best be walking
To a busier part of town
Where there’s more folks
There’s usually smokes
Stoggy’s on the ground
Hauled back on a stoggy
Last one that I got
Took a sip of sherry
Man that hit the spot
Stoggy’s on the ground
Quarters in the pot.

I remember sitting on the bench where the streetcar stop was and listening to the old time buskers and bums or hobos talking, and also sitting on the stoop of the local hotel, I'll never forgot those days and those people
