1971
3
Hardly seems a long time
4
Just a minute of the day
5
But the man who stood beside me
6
More than gave himself away
7
The food stain on his spotted shirt
8
A gray beard on his face
9
A man composed of many names
10
So I just called him Ace
11
Chorus:
12
But Ace can't read and Ace can't write
13
And he sleeps on a bench at night
14
A little man the world has left behind
15
He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet
16
Makes his living on the street
17
Never knowing what he's gonna find
18
Born in Mississippi
19
Picking cotton as a child
20
Left soon for the city
21
Where he heard that life was wild
22
That was fifty years ago
23
When nothing's really strange
24
From a poor dirt farm to dirty streets
25
Is really not much change
26
Chorus:
27
And Ace can't read and Ace can't write
28
And he sleeps on a bench at night
29
A little man the world has left behind
30
He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet
31
Makes his living on the street
32
Never knowing what he's gonna find
33
Go back to the country
34
No he really can't do that
35
Wasted years have left him
36
Nothing but an old straw hat
37
So he puts it on his head
38
And waves a last good-bye
39
No time left to turn around
40
And no time to ask why
41
Chorus:
42
Ace can't read and Ace can't write
43
And he sleeps on a bench at night
44
A little man the world has left behind
45
He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet
46
Makes his living on the street
47
Never knowing what he's gonna find
48
And this old world has left poor Ace behind
