Was listening to Utah Phillips's radio show Loafer's Glory about tramping songs, and heard Bob Bovie sing a song called Skid Row. Unfortunately, time ran out on the air, and they had to fade the rest of the song out. I didn't get all the lyrics. Does anyone out there have all the lyrics to Bob Bovie's song Skid Row?
Thanks again. Arkansas Red-Ozark Troubadour

Thanks Mark. Sorry for the misspelling of the name. Had to write it like I heerd it. Appreciate it.

SKID ROW is on the album "Pop Wagner & Bob Bovee." The Bovee/Heil web site says "originally issued in 1977, now with 5 new bonus cuts with Gail Heil."

CDBaby has a generous sample:

...Well, it's a low blow, hobo,
When they tear down your old Skid Row.
You're on the street in your walkin' shoes.
When a man's got nothin' to his name,
It seems to me just the same.
He sure has got an awful lot to lose.
Now wherever a man goes, down all the old....
