Rod Stewart - Only a Hobo lyrics

[Rod Stewart - Only a Hobo lyrics]

As I was out walking on the corner one day
I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay
His face was all covered in
The cold sidewalk floor
I guess he'd been there for
A whole night or more

He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leaving nobody to carry it on
Leaving nobody to sing his sad song
Only a hobo, but one more is gone

A blanket of newspaper covered his head
The step was his pillow
The street was his bed
One look at his face showed
The hard road he'd come
And a fistful of money showed
The coins that he'd bummed

He was only a hobo, but one more is gone


Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin' nobody to carry it on
Only a hobo, but one more is gone

Does it take much of a man
To see a whole life go down
To look on the world
From a hole in the ground
Too late 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
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin' nobody to carry it on
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
