I just saw somebody down in Taylor Square,
Looking awful, feeling bad in Taylor Square.
And you know that I,
I just walked on by,
I did not even try,
I said, there but for the grace of God go I.
(Chorus)
Down in Taylor Square,
Down in Taylor Square.
I just saw some mother's son in Taylor Square,
Too drunk to walk or run in Taylor Square.
And you know that I,
I just walked on by,
I did not even try.
I said, there but for the grace of God go I.
Then somebody's brother put the bite on me,
For the price of a bottle of fortified wine,
Would I hold the sympathy.
He looked at me as I walked y,
Summed me up, knew my size.
He said, there but for the grace of God go I.
