Only a Hobo G C G As I was out walkin' on the corner one day G D I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay G C G His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor G D G An' I guess he'd been there for the whole night or more C G Only a hobo, but one more is gone G D Leaving nobody to sing his sad song G C G Leaving nobody to carry him home G D G He was only a hobo, but one more is gone A blanket of newspaper covered his head As the step was his pillow, the street was his bed One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come An' a fistful of coins showed the money he'd bummed He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Leaving nobody to sing his sad song Leaving nobody to carry him home He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down To look up in the world from a whole in the ground To wait for your future like a horse that's gone lame To lie in the gutter and die with no name He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Leaving nobody to sing his sad song Leaving nobody to carry him home He was only a hobo, but one more is gone instrumental
