The Hobo Song

1 6m 4 2m
Too late to feel sorrow too late to feel pain
b7 2m 1
He’s just an old hobo and he’s lost out in the rain
6m 4 2m
He’ll never cause trouble so dont have no fear
b7 2m 1
He’s just an old hobo and he’ll soon be far away from here
 

3maj 4
He used to be a gambling man just like you
1 5 4 1
Until he sank so low there was nothing that no one could do
3maj 4
He used to be a gambling man just like you
1 5 4 1
Until he sank so low 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 30 injuns with one cannonball
And he’s just an old hobo asleep out in the hall

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
He’s just an old hobo asleep out in the hall
