Poor Joe, Poor Joe,
Somebody knocked you down and left you crying in the road.
Money's gone, money's gone,
You didn't have that much and now youre crying in the road
Life ain't so easy now you're older,
The nights get longer and they get colder,
The thieves get rich and the robbers bolder,
They beat you up and left you crying, left you crying in the road,
Don't go, don't go,
It might happen again and you'll be crying in the road.
The world today ain't what you're used to,
The strong survive and the weak are losers,
And no one cares if you can't make it through
They'll pass you by or stand and watch when you're crying in the road
