a balladeer on a shoestring
with a wooden box
of sentiment to melt
a pretty woman's heart
and put a sparkle
in her eyes.
He wasnt worthless
but he wasnt much good
apart from the music.
His forte' was a story
wrapped in common clothes
a pocketful of salty songs
with sand in the shoes
for good measure.
