Didn't I Know You When

You there
 On the corner
 You're making the sick survive
 You look a lot like a lady I knew
 When I was a child of five
 And now I see you're leading me
 And the people to a heavenly end
 But I don't forget a friend
 Didn't I know you when
 Didn't I know you when you were
 Peddlin' papers
 Door to door
 Didn't I know you when you were a neighbor
 Well Jack
 Jump Back
 You may look different
 But it's fact
 And I don't forget a friend
 Didn't I know you when
 And you there
 His disciple
 You're passin' the hat around
 You're braggin' about the life you live
 While you're braggin' about the life you found
 You may have been
 Livin' in sin
 Runnin' from the arms of the law
 But you may have been my friend
 Didn't I know you when
 Didn't I know you when you were
 Waitin' tables
 Sweepin' the floor
 Didn't I know you when you were a neighbor
 Well Jack
 Jump back
 You may look different
 But it's a fact
 That I don't forget a friend
 Didn't I know you when
 Seems to me you used to love the lady
 And played Louie, Louie in the band
 Isn't that strange
 Lord how some people change
 Sanctify me
 Lord baptize me
 Tell me what's your name
 Didn't I know you when you were
 Waitin' tables
 Sweepin' the floor
 Didn't I know you when you was a neighbor
 Well Jack
 Jump back
 You may look different
 But it's a fact
 That I don't forget a friend
 Didn't I know you when you when
 Didn't I know you when you when you were
 Peddlin" papers
 Door to door
 Didn't I know you when you was a neighbor
 Well Jack
 Shucks
 You may look different
 But it's a fact
 That I don't forget a friend
 Didn't I know you when
