Wharf Ratway down down,
down by the docks of the city,
Blind and dirty
I got no dime but I got time to hear his story:
more than my wine...
more than my wine
more than my maker
though he's no friend of mine
Everyone said
I'd come to no good
I knew I would
Pearly believed them
Half of my life
I spent doin' time
for some other fucker's crime
Other half found me stumbling around drunk on burgundy wine
But I'll get back on my feet someday
The good Lord willing
if He says I may
'cause I know the life I'm livin's no good
I'll get a new start
live the life I should
I'll get up and fly away......
fly away
Pearly's been true, true to me, true to my dying day he said,
I said to him:
I'm sure she's been,
I said to him:
I'm sure she's been true to you
I got up and wandered
Wandered downtown, nowhere to go just to hang around
I got a girl, named Bonny Lee
I know that girl's been true to me
I know she's been
I'm sure she's been true to me
