I'm a dirty little kid nobody knows
I live on the street where the cold wind blows
I'm free as a bird and I comes an' I goes
Don't waste your pity on me
I'll play the tin whistle and I'll dance a reel
I'll do what I can but I'll never steal
I've got too much pride and hurt I can't feel
Don't waste your pity on me

Don’t waste your pity on me

I've got a little sister who's down with croup
Gotta make some money to buy her soup
Be so much easier if I played in a group
But I don't want sympathy
My Dad left home when I was a child
I lived on the streets growin' up wild
It's always nicer when the weather is mild
Don't waste your pity on me

Don’t waste your pity on me

My Mum's gone to heaven, she died last year
She died all alone of cheap wine and beer
When they laid her down I couldn't cry a tear
She's better of anyhow
Wee Mary's not well and I'd miss her so
If God called her home I won't let her go
That's why I'm playin' here in the freezin snow
I could do with some pity now

Just a little bit of sympathy
Yeah I could do with some pity now (end)
