Only a Hobo

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
As I was out walking on a corner one day,I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay.His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floorAnd I guess he'd been there for the whole night or more.Only a hobo, but one more is goneLeavin' nobody to sing his sad songLeavin' nobody to carry him homeOnly a hobo, but one more is goneA blanket of newspaper covered his head,As the curb was his pillow, the street was his bed.One look at his face showed the hard road he'd comeAnd a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed.Only a hobo, but one more is goneLeavin' nobody to sing his sad songLeavin' nobody to carry him homeOnly a hobo, but one more is goneDoes 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?Only a hobo, but one more is goneLeavin' nobody to sing his sad songLeavin' nobody to carry him homeOnly a hobo, but one more is gone
