My grandfather died
A Bowery bum
ย
My grandfather died
The son of an Irishman
ย
On the Bowery
Oh, on the Bowery
My father tried
To find his bones
And to his trials I added my own
On the Bowery
ย
Oh, on the Bowery
ย
Well I'm new here
Where can a fella eat?
I'm new here
Where can a fella sleep?
I'm new here and I've got a pit in my gut
On the Bowery
ย
Wait down on the Bowery
ย
On the Bowery
ย
Oh, on the Bowery
ย
My grandfather left
My father twice
Second time was on his wife's advice
Straight back to the Bowery
Straight back to the Bowery
And when he came up from the river of methadone
ย
He took his last breath on the Bowery
He took his last breath on the Bowery
ย
On the Bowey
Oh, on the Bowery
