Lyrics

[00:00.77] music
[00:24.04] I am a lonesome hobo
[00:27.95] Without family or friends,
[00:35.86] Where another man's life might begin,
[00:38.42] That's exactly where mine ends.
[00:44.06] I have tried my hand at bribery,
[00:48.01] Blackmail and deceit,
[00:54.67] And i've served time for ev'rything
[00:58.06] 'cept beggin' on the street.
[01:01.18] music
[01:10.42] Well, once i was rather prosperous,
[01:14.29] There was nothing i did lack.
[01:20.81] I had fourteen-karat gold in my mouth
[01:24.36] And silk upon my back.
[01:30.77] But i did not trust my brother,
[01:34.40] I carried him to blame,
[01:40.33] Which led me to my fatal doom,
[01:45.44] To wander off in shame.
[01:48.63] music
[02:06.36] Kind ladies and kind gentlemen,
[02:10.17] Soon i will be gone,
[02:14.46] But let me just warn you all,
[02:18.51] Before i do pass on;
[02:24.62] Stay free from petty jealousies,
[02:28.58] Live by no man's code,
[02:34.41] And hold your judgment for yourself
[02:37.98] Lest you wind up on this road.
[02:42.46] music
