I was standing on this sidewalk in 1945 in Jacksonville, Illinois When asked what my name was there came no reply They said I was a deaf and sightless half-wit boy But Lewis was my name though I could not say it I was born and raised in New Orleans My spirit was wild so I let the river take it On a barge and a prayer upstream They searched for a mother and they searched for a father And they searched til they searched no more And the doctors put to rest their scientific test And they named me John Doe No. 24 And they all shook their heads in pity For a world so silent and dark Well there's no doubt that life's a mystery But so too is the human heart And it was my heart's own perfume when the crape jasmine bloomed on St. Charles Avenue Though I couldn't hear the bells of the streetcars coming By toeing the track I knew And if I were an old man returning With my satchel and pork pie hat I'd hit every jazz joint on
