about

Recorded live in concert at Burrinja Cafe, Upwey, Melbourne, Australia 2011

lyrics

Drop a dollar in my bowl
It could be good for you
Instant karma don’t you know
I might make a dream come true
I’m just like a sad-eyed wishing well
The change will do you good
A friend in need, a friend indeed
Drop a dollar in my bowl

Me & my begging bowl

We are everywhere I know
And you can’t give all day
But feat your eyes upon my need
My want is quality
See I was straight ‘til ‘88
I was left out in the cold
Lost my job, my wife, my life
And I got this begging bowl

Me & my begging bowl

So every day I rise at five
And stake my place in town
And fifty thousand heads a day
I plead to help me out
And I hear the rumors going ‘round
And I know how cruel you are
“Well I bet he make’s a grand a day
And drives a Jaguar”

Me and my begging bowl

The change will do you good
A friend in need, a friend indeed
Drop a dollar in my bowl

Me & my begging bowl
