Hi. Bringing this thread back to the top of the queue. Sorry I forgot to write "Lyrics request" in the original thread title.
I see that someone mentioned this song in the January thread on songs about the homeless, but offered no details beyond title and author.
[continuing from the first broken message]...where primroses grow wild/But somewhere's just like nowhere when you leave it for a while/That homeless brother is my friend.
I especially like the verse about how the more prosperous "envy him the freedom and pity him the chill"
