    This song breaks my heart. I was on the streets for a short time in 2017 with my then boyfriend then we were lucky enough to get a little studio flat in a shared house. It was tiny but it was paradise to us after trying to sleep out in the elements for weeks. This was in summer too, I don't know how people survive winter outside. I've since moved back to my hometown where there's not a big problem with homelessness but I still think of all the people who are living on the streets of Barnsley, South Yorkshire. I make an effort to help every person I see begging now. I don't care what they spend it on. As long as it helps them cope with the situation. I live about ten miles North of Newcastle and there's loads of homeless people there too. We shouldn't have anyone living on the streets in 2022 ffs. It's not just the homeless part that gets me though, it's the lonely old man. It makes me think of my dad. If he was that old man. Oh God I'm gonna cry so I better leave it here. Beautiful song and definitely gonna be one of the first songs I attempt to play when I finally learn to play like this, picking through chords. I'm probably a good two years away from even thinking about it though

      2020 Coronavirus updated verse
      In March 2020, Ralph McTell agreed to write another verse to the song, inspired by the Coronavirus pandemic gripping the world at the time. The new verse is as follows:
      In shop doorways, under bridges, in all our towns and cities
      You can glimpse the makeshift bedding from the corner of your eye
      Remember what you're seeing barely hides a human being
      We're all in this together, brother, sister, you and I.[1

    Sadness is unavoidable in our lives. But to wallow in self pity is unhealthy, often somewhat dishonest, and often driven by regrets and guilt. It clouds our eyes, closes our minds to our neighbor's plight, gets in the way of making our world just a little warmer and better. So be sad but don't exaggerate. Be honest about what drives it, and, if necessary, ask for forgiveness to begin healing and rejoining the good and necessary work of helping those in need.

    I first heard this song when i was a child in the 70s. I had no clue what it meant but after having experienced familial rejection and losing everything and being homeless for six months in 2020. I was lucky because my best friend stood by me and made sure that i could sleep on her sofa until i was finally rehoused. As a transgender woman, i wouldn't have survived a day on the streets. I am still struggling but not dead yet.
    Apparently the market referred to in the first verse is Surrey Street Market in Croydon, where i used to go with my Mum.
    I heard it played in a Dublin pub yesterday and immediately burst into tears. thank you Ralph McTell for caring about the unloved and the unwanted.

      Sorry to dispell your dilusional thinking but you are not a woman . Thinking that you are doesn't help you , and other people supporting your claim that you are a woman are no friends of yours . They are miss-guided liars who have been reduced to fantasy by marxist extreme left wing propagander and lies . For instance , what is your chromosome mix as regards x and y and were you born with a prostate ? You were born a biological man and you still are a biological man . Maybe it is your way of coping with the fact that you are homosexual - just as I am . And maybe , due to your upbringing and " tabbo's " around homosexuality when you were growing up ,you found it far easier to convince yourself that you are a woman and thus it wouldn't be homosexuality you had but femininity because you are a " woman " ? That is obviously pure speculation on my part because you really are only fooling yourself when you think and say that you are a woman . You are not , and as i have just proved , you are a man who likes / loves men .

    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
    Arms held loosely at his side
    Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
    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
    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
    In the all night cafe
    At a quarter past eleven
    Same old man sitting there on his own
    Looking at the world
    Over the rim of his teacup
    Each tea lasts an hour
    And he wanders home alone
    So how can you tell me you're lonely
    Don't 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 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
    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

    With all the prices going up and everything increasing in prices. Have a thought for the poor young people living on the streets. No food no bed just a peice of cardboard to sleep on. God bless them.

    This is pure class, unlike Bruno Mars this song will last forever.

    I recall walking along of Oxford Street as a student. This guy stopped outside McDonalds, routed around in the bin found something and went straight into his mouth. Whenever I feel hard done by I think about that.

    This song was already a hit in my home country the Netherlands in 1972, in the UK where it’s made in 1975, bit strange.

      He wrote it in 1969 I believe but he may have rerecorded it in 1975.

    A song and voice for the ages.... regretfully but strangely at the same time i proudly (I don't want to desecrate this absolute classic but merely pay homage and pretend I'm even nearly as talented as the great man) I belt this tune out whenever theres a late nighter and an opportunity.....

      I know! I thought "WTF" They are dancing to this song? Maybe the shows producers told them to, which would prove how ignorant the producers were. McTell is a pro - he maintained his composure throughout.
