Folkways Studios - february 1963 As i was out walkin' on the 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 been dead 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 He was only a hobo but one more is gone. 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 A fistful of coins showed the money he bummed. He was only a hobo but one more is gone Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song Leavin' nobody to carry him home He was 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 in 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 Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song Leavin' nobody to carry him home He was only a hobo but one more is gone.
