The late Kim Simmonds wrote this lovely tune in 1971, and recorded it with his blues rock band, Savoy Brown. We last chatted at the Pittsburgh Blues Festival in 2011. He said he still enjoyed touring, but also that it was his only financial option. RIP, Kim.
Lyrics
Street Corner Talking, Kim Simmonds, 1971
Came to the city, left my happy home
Came to the city, left my happy home
But I didn't do right, learned my lessons wrong
Street Corner Talking, wonder what I'm gonna do
Street Corner Talking, wonder what I'm gonna do
If you can't get a job, council will take of you
It's the same what a shame, no matter where you go
It's the same what a shame, no matter where you go
People wonder what to do, too much time for me and you
Street Corner Talking, wonder what I'm gonna do
Street Corner Talking, wonder what I'm gonna do
If you can't get a job, council will take of you
