Performed by kris kristofferson Beggar standin on the corner sing your song Sing it for a dime Bring them all the pain you carried down the line Your musics flyin post their ears Goin through your troubles for the herd to follow The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow Movin down the ladder slow Where your friends on knee will help you And the cup-o tin you carry Is just a ticket to get you in Beggar standin on the corner dry your eye Youre tiring now The tears youre tastin now are only salty time Your musics lasted thru the year Goin through your troubles for the herd to follow The out of tune ravings of rhe crippled crow Movin down the ladder slow Where your friends on knee will help you And the crown of thorns youre wearing Is just a ticket to get you in The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow Moving down the ladder slow Where your friends on knee will help you The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow Moving down the ladder slow Where your friends on knee will help you Words & music by donna weiss
