Hello my brother Can you spare a moment? So glad to see you I've been down on my luck Living in this alley these days Always a meal or two in the trash So how have you been keeping? Good to hear about the wife and kids I understand you don't want me visiting Oh, you want to know about Mary? She left me a couple years ago My own fault, too much work The job took away all my time Mary was feeling a little rejected So she found herself another lover But the job decided to let me go I kind of allowed myself to go to Hell So I found myself without a job or home Yeah I heard about little brother Billy He joined the army and went off to fight I miss him, I wish i went to the funeral Oh, have you really got to go? Yeah, I know it's been good to talk My brother, you are always a busy man Don't be a stranger now, visit soon I am always living in ths alley, here Always here, drinking my bottle of rye

303: Brother, Can You Spare A Minute?
Hello my brother Can you spare a moment? So glad to see you I've been down on my luck Living in this alley these days Always a meal or two in the trash So how have you been keeping? Good to hear about the wife and kids I understand you don't want me visiting Oh, you want to know about Mary? She left me a couple years ago My own fault, too much work The job took away all my time Mary was feeling a little rejected So she found herself another lover But the job decided to let me go I kind of allowed myself to go to Hell So I found myself without a job or home Yeah I heard about little brother Billy He joined the army and went off to fight I miss him, I wish i went to the funeral Oh, have you really got to go? Yeah, I know it's been good to talk My brother, you are always a busy man Don't be a stranger now, visit soon I am always living in ths alley, here Always here, drinking my bottle of rye
