Standin' on the corner of a busy crowded street

A holdin' out my hand to all the people that I meet

I've been here all mornin' and I've got to have my wine

And I'd have enough to buy it if I had one more dime

Mister have you got a dime hey Miss how bout you

Have pity on an old man so I can buy some food

Folks don't give you money if you say that it's for wine

So I tell them if I could buy some food if I had one more dime

If I had one more dime then I would have enough

To buy me wine to last me till tomorrow

If I had one more dime then I would have my cup of joy and I'd forget my sorrow

I could leave the past behind forget a love that once was mine

I could buy my peace of mind if I had one more dime

If I had one more dime...

I could buy my peace of mind if I had one more dime
