My grandfather died
 A Bowery bum
 ♪
 My grandfather died
 The son of an Irishman
 ♪
 On the Bowery
 Oh, on the Bowery
 My father tried
 To find his bones
 And to his trials I added my own
 On the Bowery
 
 Oh, on the Bowery
 ♪
 Well I'm new here
 Where can a fella eat?
 I'm new here
 Where can a fella sleep?
 I'm new here and I've got a pit in my gut
 On the Bowery
 
 Wait down on the Bowery
 
 On the Bowery
 
 Oh, on the Bowery

 My grandfather left
 My father twice
 Second time was on his wife's advice
 Straight back to the Bowery
 Straight back to the Bowery
 And when he came up from the river of methadone
 
 He took his last breath on the Bowery
 He took his last breath on the Bowery

 On the Bowey
 Oh, on the Bowery
