Only a Hobo (unreleased, Greatest Hits II) Songtext
As I was out walking on a corner one day
I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay
His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor
And I guess, he′d been there for the whole night or more
Only a hobo but one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin′ nobody to carry him home
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
And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed
He was only a hobo but one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin′ 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 on the world from a hole 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
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin′ nobody to carry him home
He was only a hobo but one more is gone
I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay
His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor
And I guess, he′d been there for the whole night or more
Only a hobo but one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin′ nobody to carry him home
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
And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed
He was only a hobo but one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin′ 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 on the world from a hole 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
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin′ nobody to carry him home
He was only a hobo but one more is gone
