How to play the hobo song
Lyrics: Jack Bonus Music: Jack Bonus
Too late to feel sorrow Too late to feel pain
He’s just an old hobo And he’s Lost out in the rain
He’d never cause trouble. So don’t have no fear
He’s just an old hobo And he’ll soon be far away from here
Refrain
He used to be a gambling man just like you Until he sank so low that there was
Nothing that no one could do He used to be a gambling man just like you
Until he sank so low that there was. Nothing that no one could do
Oh, don’t make him ask you Oh, don’t make him beg
He was a war hero. And that’s how he hurt his leg
He killed thirty injuns With one cannon ball
Now he’s just an old hobo Asleep out in the hall
* Refrain
A wife and five children Who live in L.A.
They miss their dear daddy Who’s gone so far away
They still have his picture It’s hung on the wall
Now he’s just an old hobo Asleep out in the hall
* Refrain
He used to be a gambling man just like you
Until he sank so low that there was
Nothing that no one could do
