Greasy long hair, limping walks
Dark creepy mangroves is where he stalks
Nobody knows where he came from
Scrounging downtown Key West for your crumbs
In disgust men and women shake their heads
At night children fear he's under their bed
He's an enigma, not understood
He feels at home, in the mangrove woods
Mangrove Man, how you livin'
Your heart and soul, you have given
Mangrove Man, don't you worry
Pretty soon, you will have better days
Better Days
Better Days
Better Days
Some people say he has a secret to tell
Others say the world put him through hell
His hard face tells a story
Of a hard life with no glory
In this world he could come or go
No one cares nor, would they ever know
We watch you struggle about town
Your pain and sorry is your frown
Mangrove Man, how you livin'
Your heart and soul, you have given
Mangrove Man, don't you worry
Pretty soon, you will have better days
Better Days
Better Days
Better Days
Mangrove Man, how you livin'
Your heart and soul, you have given
Mangrove Man, don't you worry
Pretty soon, you will have better days
Better Days
Better Days
Better Days
When will the world
See your heart
