Only A Hobo Lyrics


As I was out walking on the corner one day
I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay
His face was all covered in the cold sidewalk floor
I guess he'd been there for a whole night or moreHe was only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leaving nobody to carry it on
Leaving nobody to sing his sad song
Only a hobo, but one more is goneA blanket of newspaper covered his head
The step was his pillow, the street was his bed
One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come
And a fistful of money showed the coins that he'd bummedHe was only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin' nobody to carry it on
Only a hobo, but one more is goneDoes it take much of a man to see a whole life go down
To look on the world from a hole in the ground
Too late for your future like a horse that's gone lame
To lie in the gutter and die with no nameHe was only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin' nobody to carry it on

Only a hobo, but one more is gone

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
