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. |

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] |

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] |
