Over two hundred artists have made covers of this song but I only love Sam's version.

[jasminelove1818]

So wonderful ! I love Sam Hui !

[jason93629]

Have you seen the old man

In the closed-down market

Kicking up the paper,

with his worn out shoes?

In his eyes you see no pride

And held loosely at his side

Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

[jason93629]

So how can you tell me you're lonely, And say for you that the sun don't shine? Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London I'll show you something to make you change your mind Have you seen the old girl Who walks the streets of London Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags? She's no time for talking, She just keeps right on walking Carrying her home in two carrier bags.

[jason93629]

In the all night cafe At a quarter past eleven, Same old man is sitting there on his own Looking at the world Over the rim of his tea-cup, Each tea last an hour Then he wanders home alone And have you seen the old man Outside the seaman's mission Memory fading with The medal ribbons that he wears. In our winter city, The rain cries a little pity For one more forgotten hero And a world that doesn't care

[Jonathan82986]

Nice song

@SingaSong4416 ooh thanks! thats awesome, he sounds like a native speaker :]

@vipmonicake Sam studied in Hong Kong throughout his whole life. In an interview stated that Sam was very bad at English because he didn't know if he was pronouncing the word right, but one of his teachers at his High school taught him proper English. His early albums 1960-to early 70s, he only released English albums, not until 1974 he began releasing Canto Albums. He did a lot of tours in the 60s many in the US, where he met his wife. So his english improved a lot.
