Didn't I Know You When

歌詞

You there, on the corner, You’re making the sick survive, You look a lot like lad I knew when I was a child of five. And now I see you’re leading me and the people to a heavenly end, But I don’t forget a friend, didn’t I know you when? Didn’t I know you when you were, Pellin’ papers, door to door, Didn’t I know you when you were a neighbor? Well, Jack, jump back, You may look different, but it’s a fact, That I don’t forget a friend, Didn’t I know you when? And you there, his disciple, you’re passin’ the hat around. You’re braggin’ about the life you lived, while you’re braggin’ about the life you found. You may have been livin’ in sin, runnin’ from the arms of the law. But you may have been my friend, Didn’t I know you when? Didn’t I know you when you were, Waitin’ tables, sweepin’ the floor. Didn’t I know you when you were a neighbor? Well, Jack, jump back, You may look different, but it’s a fact, That I don’t forget a friend, Didn’t I know you when? Seems to me you used to love the ladies. Playin’ Louie, Louie in the band. But isn’t life strange, Lord how some people change, Sanctify me, Lord baptize me, tell me what’s your name. Didn’t I know you when you were, Waitin’ tables, sweepin’ the floor. Didn’t I know you when you was a neighbor? Well, Jack, jump back, You may look different, but it’s a fact, That I don’t forget a friend, Didn’t I know you when? Didn’t I know you when you were, Pellin’ papers, door to door, Didn’t I know you when you were a neighbor? Well, Jack, shucks, You may look different, but it’s a fact, That I don’t forget a friend, Didn’t I know you when?
