作曲：

As footsteps echo softly to

The early morning hours

The slowness of his moves should be a warning

But from the trash he digs

He patchs socks and yesterdays flowers

What a way to start a monday morning

He might have been a carpenter

At one time in his life

And he built a lot of homes but never had one

Or he could have been a poet

Who had come upon some hard times

And all that he had lived

Was just his sad poems

He could have been a singer

With a lot of promise

But cigarettes and whiskey

Ruined his throat

Now it was hard to remember

Even a simple tune

Or the words to songs

That he had wrote

Now take me back to Memphis

I've got to do some thinking

Cause I've been in this city way too long

And it lays heavy on my mind

When I see another man

Having to make the sidewalks his home
