In a shabby bar
  of a nowhere town
  her hair was black as tar
  she was really lookin' down
  
  I sat beside her, and she needed a light
  I wanted to give her more
  to make her feel alright and first she hesitated
  then she wanted to be paid
  and last she told me
  she ain't got it made
  
  In a lonely park
  she was really lookin' sad
  her hair was black as tar
  and then she told me
  things are lookin' bad
  
  come on baby, shove your troubles away
  I give you a chance to be happy
  why don't you take it today
  
  I'm your travellin' man
  and I take what I need when I can
  I'm your travellin' man
  and I take what I need, I need you, I need you, I need you
  oh, you know I do, yeah
  
  in other bars, and other shabby towns
  the kids are lookin' up
  the kids are lookin' down
  they got the will, they're out to get their share
  and leads you doin’ what others don't dare
