Man That You Once Knew

If you see your man in clothes that's old and ragged
And he walks from bar to bar in worn out shoes
If people point and whisper God have mercy

Would you be ashamed to remember
I'm the same man that lost everything for you
If tomorrow on the street I die a beggar
Would you deny the man that you once knew

And I walk right up and say how do you do
Would you turn your back and tell him you don't know me
Would you deny the man that you once knew
Would you be ashamed to remember...
Would you deny the man that you
