I Am A Lonesome Lyrics

song lyrics I Am A Lonesome Hobo lyrics I am a lonesome hobo Without family or friends Where another man s life might begin That s exactly where mine ends I have tried my hand at bribery Blackmail and deceit And I ve served time for ev rything Cept begging on the street. Well, once I was rather prosperous There was nothing I did lack I had fourteen-karat gold in my mouth And silk upon my back But I did not trust my brother I carried him to blame Which led me to my fatal doom To wander off in shame. Kind ladies and kind gentlemen Soon I will be gone But let me just warn you all Before I do pass on: Stay free from petty jealousies Live by no man s code And hold your judgement for yourself Lest you wind up on his road. song lyrics
