^GAs I was out walking on a ^Ccorner one ^Gday, I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he ^Dlay. His ^Gface was all grounded in the ^Ccold sidewalk ^Gfloor And I guess he'd been there for the ^Dwhole night or ^Gmore.

^COnly a hobo, but ^Gone more is gone D C' G/B Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song ^GLeavin' nobody to ^Ccarry him ^Ghome D C' G He was only a hobo, but one more is gone

A 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 come And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed. Only a hobo, but one more is gone Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song Leavin' nobody to carry him home 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? Only a hobo, but one more is gone Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song Leavin' nobody to carry him home Only a hobo, but one more is gone
