Skeeter Davis - Have You Seen This Man?

 

I'll Sing You A Song And Harmonize Too (1960) Skeeter Davis sings 'Have You Seen This Man?'. Great song and one of my big favorites of Skeeter's first album. Written by Skeeter, Marie Wilson and Ernest Tubb. Lyric: See that man there on the corner He can call his life his own Dressed in rags and eyes so empty He's like a statue made of stone. Yet he chose this way of living And not the life that God had planned And each day he's sinking lower With that bottle in his hand. Do you ever stop to wonder Have you really seen this man Or do you see just another bum With a bottle in his hand? --- Instrumental --- Yes, he sleeps in dingy alleys But great love this man has known And each time our baby calls for him It cuts me to the bone. He was once so proud and worthy Of a love at his command Has he lost it all forever For that bottle in his hand. If you ask me, yes, I love him But I just can't understand Can you help me find the answer To that bottle in his hands...
