Lyrics
Woman please be gone
You've stayed here much too long
Don't you wish that you could cry
Don't you wish I would die
Seamy, seesaw kids
Childwoman on the skids
The dust will choke you blind
The lust will choke your mind
I kiss the floor, one kick no more
The pig and hose have set me free
I've tasted Haight street's hanging tree
I've tasted Haight street's hanging tree
I kiss the floor, one kick no more
The pig and hose have set me free
I've tasted Haight street's hanging tree
I've tasted Haight street's hanging tree
The inner city birthed me
The local pusher nursed me
Cousins make it on the street
They marry every trick they meet
A dime, a dollar they're all the same
When a man comes in to bust your game
The turnkey comes, his face a grin
Locks the cell I'm in again.
I kiss the floor, one kick no more
The pig and hose have set me free
I've tasted Haight street's hanging tree
I've tasted Haight street's hanging tree
I've tasted Haight street's hanging tree
I've tasted Haight street's hanging tree...

Love this guy!

@Didgebaba Thanks for the tip. Cheers

@666cfc At His Best (Australia 1977, Blue Goose, Re-released in 2005) features unreleased recordings from 1976: "Can't Get Away", "I'll Slip Away" (a re-recording of his first single), and "Street Boy". These are three beautiful songs, so yea, maybe it is worth it.
-
@Didgebaba Is there anything worth looking up or is it just the material from his official records?
-
@666cfc There are other records but they are just live and compilations. I also had "At His Best" (Australia – 1977)
-
@toddy111ful Yeah. but it's got nothing to do w/ this song!
-
@Didgebaba I thought he only released two records?
-
The pagan hoe's have set me free
-

fantastic song, also his album "Cold Fact"
