| Lyrics: | by Bob Dylan
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.
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin' nobody
to sing his sad song
Leavin' nobody to carry him home
Only a hobo, but one more is
gone
A blanket of newspaper covered his head,
As the curb was his pillow, the street
was his bed.
One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come
And a fistful of coins
showed the money he bummed.
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to sing
his sad song
Leavin' nobody to carry him home
Only a hobo, but one more is
gone
Does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down,
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?
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin'
nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin' nobody to carry him home
Only a hobo, but one more is
gone |
