Ragamuffin Joe 1936

I've tramped the highways
I've tramped the byways
Mingling with all the throng,
I've seen the sad days
I've seen the bad days
when the world just seemed all wrong.
All the friends I used to know
Have forgotten me, and so,
In this confusion and disillusion
I'll be singing as I go.

Ragamuffin Joe
the only Ragamuffin Joe
so lonely,
No one seems to know
or care for me.
Walking down the street
just playing
people that I meet
start swaying,
When I start to play my melody.
Tho' I'm just a bunch
of rags and tatters,
I possess a heart
that really matters,
Ragamuffin Joe
I'm only Ragamuffin Joe
So lonely,
No one seems to know
or care for me.

Ragamuffin Joe
the only Ragamuffin Joe
so lonely,
No one seems to know
or care for me.
Walking down the street
just playing
people that I meet
start swaying,
When I start to play my melody.
Tho' I'm just a bunch
of rags and tatters,
I possess a heart
that really matters,
Ragamuffin Joe
I'm only Ragamuffin Joe
So lonely,
No one seems to know
or care for me.
