Have you got a fine place to slip to When you're feeling down Have you had a week or two Just to get your troubles down Found a lot of life and laughter With a grandfather in the bowery She had a body of sixteen or seventeen She had a mind of forty I met her on a cold day In a city far away With the worlds about zero And I saw at once Into her soul She's gonna call me her hero Never like a walk in the rain or the lane I found a lot of death that day With the grandfather in the bowery â€~Cause I like her like the world She had a halo of gold Told me stories of her life And the courage was sublime, pantomime I walk the line 'cause you're blind I walk the line
