No no - old black men wish they were Tom Waits

Wikipedia has a wrong info about this. As a result of my research the true album title is "Portrait of a Man: the history of screamin jay hawkins" and not "Portrait of a man and his wife"-as wiki says-. Portrait of a man disc is a compilation album that came out in 1995, you can see that because lots of his songs that are included they appear for first time in his mid-early 90's albums. And in that album under the song says -Tom Waits-.

It's hard to go to the hospital when you're a tree.

Sour news kids, if that bass line doesn't do it for you, you've got no soul.

Incorrect. Portrait of a Man was released mid 90's if I remember correctly. Portrait of a Man and His Woman came out in 72 and they were completely different releases.

"I was born in a taxi and I'm never goin home" are the lyrics i think. Wasn't Tom actually born in a taxi cos his mother couldn't made it to the hospital...?

Screamin' Jay Hawkins.

[Aaron Wallace]

Type "Screamin' Jay Hawkins" into Wikipedia's search bar, and hit enter. It brings you to his page, scroll down to the "Later Career" section and read the fifth paragraph. Hawkins really liked Waits' music and covered a bunch of it.
