Lyrics
On the corner of Fifth and Main
By the old riverbed near the railroad train
There's a shop near the track
And the owner works in the back
He's got a hole in his shirt and a hole in his shoe
He walks around without a whole lot to do
He's got no car and got no clothes
He do what he does, it's all he knows
He's the donut man (donut man)
Doin' what he can (uh-huh)
Happy every day, nothing to lose
He's found his way
He's the donut man (donut man)
Doin' what he can (what he can)
Happy every day, nothing to lose
He's found his way
For at least ten years and a day
He's been going out of his way
To give what he's got
And the Lord says he gives a lot
Now the folks lay down one thin dime
For this he gives all his time
And on his face a beautiful smile
His love reaching out all the while
He's the donut man (donut man)
Doin' what he can (uh-huh)
Happy every day, nothing to lose
He's found his way
He's the donut man (donut man)
Doin' what he can (what he can)
Happy every day, nothing to lose
He's found his way
As the children grew up and he grew old
His hands got shaky and the shop was sold
On many a lip has the story been told
There ain't nothing left but a donut hole
He's the donut man (donut man)
Doin' what he can (uh-huh)
Happy every day, nothing to lose
He's found his way
He's the donut man (donut man)
Doin' what he can (what he can)
Every other day he gives 'em away
Everybody loves the donut man
He's the donut man (donut man)
Doin' what he can (uh-huh)
Happy every day, nothing to lose
He's found his way
He's the donut man (donut man)
Doin' what he can (what he can)
Every other day he gives 'em away
Everybody loves the donut man
On many a lip has the story been told
There ain't nothing left but a donut hole
By the old riverbed near the railroad train
There's a shop near the track
And the owner works in the back
He's got a hole in his shirt and a hole in his shoe
He walks around without a whole lot to do
He's got no car and got no clothes
He do what he does, it's all he knows
He's the donut man (donut man)
Doin' what he can (uh-huh)
Happy every day, nothing to lose
He's found his way
He's the donut man (donut man)
Doin' what he can (what he can)
Happy every day, nothing to lose
He's found his way
For at least ten years and a day
He's been going out of his way
To give what he's got
And the Lord says he gives a lot
Now the folks lay down one thin dime
For this he gives all his time
And on his face a beautiful smile
His love reaching out all the while
