Whitey
We keep the room just like he left it
though it’s been years
since anyone’s swept the floor
And yes, that’s his hood,
hanging back of the door
but Whitey don’t live here
no more
Now it couldn’t have been too much past 1960
in fact, i think, it must have been ‘64
When them new neighbors came
he just gone and took off
now Whitey don’t live here
no more
yes, that’s his hood,
hanging back of the door
but Whitey don’t live here
no more
