Only a Hobo

As I was out walking on a corner one day I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor And I guess he'd been there for the whole night or more He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Leaving nobody to sing his sad song Leaving nobody to carry him home He was only, but one more is gone (one cord for a while) Now listing here, a blanket of newspaper covered his head As the step was his pillow, the street was his bed One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come (yes it did) (Anybody could tell) And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Leaving nobody to sing his sad song Leaving nobody to carry him home He was only a hobo, but one more is gone (Play the thing now) Does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down A women or a girl or anyone in the world 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 He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Leaving nobody to sing his sad song Leaving nobody to carry him home He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Only, only a hobo but one more is gone --- Only a Hobo - Titus Andronicus
