I Am A Lonesome Hobo lyrics

I am a lonesome hobo
Without family or friends
Where another man s life might begin
That s exactly where mine ends
I have tried my hand at bribery
Blackmail and deceit
And I ve served time for ev rything
Cept begging on the street.

Well, once I was rather prosperous
There was nothing I did lack
I had fourteen-karat gold in my mouth
And silk upon my back
But I did not trust my brother
I carried him to blame
Which led me to my fatal doom
To wander off in shame.

Kind ladies and kind gentlemen
Soon I will be gone
But let me just warn you all
Before I do pass on:
Stay free from petty jealousies
Live by no man s code
And hold your judgement for yourself
Lest you wind up on his road.
