a street philospher

Way Down upon the Swami's Liver


for every problem he had an answer

whether it was right or not

but everyone knew him as a singer and dancer

he turned to whiskey cocaine and pot


they called him Swami for his deep mind

his soft words and special soul

sometimes he would hide and be hard to find

the drugs and booze took their toll


but when he could he would give his heart

lend his ear and give you his shirt

if you saw pain in his eyes he'd cut it short

but no one knew just how bad he hurt


time passed by and finally it ended

he died of cancer this incredible giver

leaving hearts that were never mended

the booze finally ate Swami's liver
