Only A Hobo (Live)

[00:17.28]As I was out walking on a corner one day

[00:31.92]I spied an old hobo in a doorway he lay

[00:38.72]His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor

[00:42.92]And I guess he'd been there for the whole night or more

[00:50.03]Only a hobo

[00:51.63]But one more is gone

[00:54.06]Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song

[00:59.03]Leavin' nobody to carry him home

[01:02.72]He was only a hobo but one more is gone

[01:09.90]A blanket of newspaper covered his head

[01:13.73]As the curb was his pillow and the streeet was his bed

[01:18.68]One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come

[01:22.70]And a fistful of coins showes the money he bummed

[01:27.68]He was only a hobo

[01:29.60]But one more is gone

[01:32.04]Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song

[01:36.93]Leavin' nobody to carry him home

[01:40.61]He was only a hobo but one more is gone

[01:49.61]Does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down

[01:53.52]To look up on the world from a hole in the ground

[01:58.46]To wait for your future like a horse that's gone lame

[02:02.31]To lie in the gutter and die with no name

[02:07.26]He was only a hobo

[02:09.21]But one more is gone

[02:11.58]Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song

[02:16.53]Leavin' nobody to carry him home

[02:20.18]He was only a hobo but one more is gone
