Gregory Isaacs Lonely Man
He's a poor old lonely man
In a lonely little shack
He didn't have much to eat
No, he didn't have much on his back
But he worked and sweat almost everyday
Working til the next pay day
When we can come he's just as poor
And after that he will start once more
But his lonely days
Lord, his lonely ways
And all his lonely nights
Will soon be bright
His lonely days, I said
His lonely ways and all of his
Lonely nights.. ah will soon be right
Now if you see this lonely man
Try and give him a helping hand
Cause someday he will understand
When he was down you helped him out
Please don't pass and criticize
It's time we all should realize
Whether he's black or he is white
Each man has an equal right
Cause his lonely days
Lord his lonely ways, hear me
And all his lonely nights
Will soon be bright
That's how life should be
Oooh Yes Sir-e
I know you'll all agree
