The Beggar

The Beggar -Allan Taylor/Christoph-Mathias Mueller/Göttinger Symphonie Orchester

Written by：Allan Taylor/Fabrizio De Andre

What use am I now

I'm no good to anyone

I'm not as strong as I used to be

My hands are weak

I'm dressed in rags

And I beg on the streets

I'm a face in the crowd

That no one sees

Life is cheap

When the living gets hard

Spare a coin for a poor man

To buy some food

In the dark of the night

When all the people have gone

I will be on my way

And travel on

Another town another place

And they all look the same

Another beggar on the streets

Who has no name
