Ahdiah
When I was a kid maybe about 11 or 12 it was a strange guy that was living in the town I lived in and you'd see him if you went downtown. People used to call him Ahdiah. Now we figured that probably wasn't as real name, but if you ask him his real name that's what he said. He was a funny little guy, and if he wasn't hanging out on the street looking like a homeless dude, he was down at the bar drinking. Now you didn't have much money, so obviously people used to buy them drinks and then make fun of them. They used to get a kick out of him saying his name over and over. And when he said his name we would repeat it back to him. Now the bar stories I only heard about, because I wasn't old enough to go into the bar but when he was on the street we did the same thing to him as the people did in the bar. He used to be an important guy, and I guess he had money at one time, but things changed. I feel bad today about making fun of him, but back then that's what kids used to do.

There once was a man
Who lived in my town
I was just a kid
I'd always see him around
No one knew his name
He never went too far
If you wanted to find him
Just go down to the local bar
We called him Ahdiah
Ahdiah
Cuz if you said hello to him
He would just smile and say
Ahdiah
If you asked him his name
He would just smile and say
Ahdiah
Ahdiah
Ahdiah
Ahdiah
People say he went to Harvard
And that he used to be Mayor
Now he looks like he's homeless
And he doesn't seem to care
Ahdiah
Ahdiah
Ahdiah
