[09:34.0]Old man down, way down down, down by the docks of the city.
[09:34.0]Blind and dirty, asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of coffee.
[09:34.0]I got no dime but I got some time to hear his story.
[09:34.0]My name is august west, and I love my pearly baker best more than my wine.
[09:34.0]More than my wine - more than my maker, though hes no friend of mine.
[09:34.0]Everyone said, Id come to no good, I knew I would pearly, believe them.
[09:34.0]Half of my life, I spent doin time for some other f**kers crime,
[09:34.0]The other half found me stumbling round drunk on burgundy wine.
[09:34.0]But Ill get back on my feet again someday,
[09:34.0]The good lord willin, if he says I may.
[09:34.0]I know that the life I'm livins no good,
[09:34.0]Ill get a new start, live the life I should.
[09:34.0]Ill get up and fly away, Ill get up and fly away, fly away.
[09:34.0]Pearlys been true, true to me, true to my dyin day he said,
[09:34.0]I said to him, I said to him, I'm sure she's been.
[09:34.0]I said to him, I'm sure she's been true to you.
[09:34.0]Got up and wandered, wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around.
[09:34.0]I've got a girl, named bonnie lee, I know that girls been true to me.
[09:34.0]I know she's been, I'm sure she's been true to me.
