MEN ALL WANT TO BE HOBOS by John Hartford Down On the River Album Flying Fish Label 1989 Chords tabbed by: Verne Garrison October 7, 2008 Lyrics from Riverboat Annie Mud Cat Men All Want to Be Hobos

She^D needs a man to hold her hand and love her tender care

He wants to know when he comes and goes

that she^G will stay right t^Dhere He r^Geally wants to be a hobo the road he wants to ^Dfill Whi^Dle she stays home and bakes the pies and leaves^A them on the windowsi^Dll

Shes^D a faithful wife and she gives her life and will d^Gie for just one^D man

while a rambler tries to be a gambler

and lov^Ge as many women as he ^Dcan and s^Go he flows and rows and grows to know a hobos cu^Dre

But a hobos cure is a woman's lure

that pi^Ae on the window^Dsill She give^Gs to him and he ^Dreceives They lov^Ge and then he l^Deaves He lies ^Gand cries and says^D goodby Littl^E7e darling don't you^A grieve So h^De roams and she stays home and does^G what a woman wil^Dl

dries her eyes and bakes her pies

and leaves ^Athem on the windows^Dill

She gives to him and he receives

they lo^Gve and then he l^Deaves He lies and cries and says goodbye li^E7ttle darling don't you^A grieve

So ^Dhe roams and she stays home and does w^Ghat a woman w^Dill

dries her eyes and bakes her pies

and leaves ^Athem on the windows^Dill
