Once upon a time you dressed so fineYou threw the bums a dime in your prime,

didn’t you?People’d call, say, “Beware doll, you’re bound

to fall”You thought they were all kiddin’ you

You used to laugh aboutEverybody that was hangin’ out

Now you don’t talk so loudNow you don’t seem so proud

About having to be scrounging for your next meal

How does it feel?How does it feel?

To be without a homeLike a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?
