מילים לשיר Wharf Rat – Grateful Dead

Old man down, way down down, down by the docks of the city.
I got no dime but I got some time to hear his story.
Blind and dirty, asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of coffee. More than my wine My name is August West, and I love my Pearly Baker best more than my wine.
Half of my life, I spent doin' time for some other fucker's crime,
Everyone said, I'd come to no good, I knew I would Pearly, believe them.
The other half found me stumbling 'round drunk on Burgundy wine. But I'll get back on my feet again someday,
I'll get a new start, live the life I should.
I know that the life i'm livin's no good, The good Lord willin', if He says I may.
I said to him, I said to him, "I'm sure she's been."
I'll get up and fly away, I'll get up and fly away, fly away.
Pearly's been true, true to me, true to my dyin' day he said,
Got up and wandered, wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around. I've got a girl, named Bonnie Lee, I know that girl's been true to me.
I said to him, "I'm sure she's been tru to you."
I know she's been, I'm sure she's been true to me.
