COME SEE WHAT'S LEFT OF YOUR MAN
(Ronnie Self)

Johnny Darrell - 1967
Tommy Cash - 1967


Last night I went to bed 
With my head on a street corner kerb
Some kinda fool kicked me awake 
And I thought it was an elephant herd

Well, I made it to a flophouse 
Paid my last cent to lay my body down
Check-out time came too soon 
Be broke and I blew downtown

And I say hey, hey woman
Come see what's left o' your man
Hey, hey woman
Come see what's left o' your man

Yeah, I woke up this morning 
Had me two hundred dollars worth of shakes
Took me two days to drink up a check 
That it took me two weeks to make

Well, I got two days of whiskers
Gotta have a drink before I shave
I'm shakin' so bad I might cut my own throat 
And I ain't ready for my grave

And I say hey, hey woman
Come see what's left o' your man
Hey, hey woman
Come see what's left o' your man

Well, if I ever get back on my feet 
I ain't never gonna drink no more gin
Hey there, boss, show me a little mercy
Let me have my old job back again

Well, all right you stubborn fool 
I'm the best worker you ever had
If you don't want me diggin' in your ditch 
It sure ain't gonna make me mad

I say hey, hey woman
Come see what's left o' your man
Hey, hey woman
Come see what's left o' your man
Hey, hey woman
Come see what's left o' your man
Hey, hey woman
Come see what's left o' your man
Hey, hey woman..............FADE
