On the sidewalks of Savannah
There's an old man ragged and blind
He don't beg and he don't steal
And he don't fool with wine
With an old guitar in his wrinkled hands
A thousand songs in his mind
You can't keep your heart from loving
The song man when you hear him cry
Song Man, one song for a dime
I got songs that'll make you happy
Songs that'll make you cry
I got a special on poor man's blues
Two for the price of one
And it won't cost you a thing
To hear me sing my favorite gospel song
Lord I'm coming home
Lord I'm coming home
I've been fighting the devil too long
Lord I'm coming home
The old timers in Savannah
Have known him all of their lives
They all say that he's done seen
A hundred years go by
With an old dog he calls Governor John
He starts at the break of dawn
And he don't stop as long as someone
Wants to hear him sing a song
Song Man, one song for a dime
I got songs that'll make you happy
Songs that'llll make you cry
I got a special on poor man's blues
Two for the price of one
It won't cost you a thing to hear me
Sing my favorite gospel song
Lord I'm coming home
Lord I'm coming home
I've been fighting the devil to long
Lord I'm coming home
