๐ Lyrics
I am a lonesome hobo,
Without family or friends
Where another man's life might begin,
That's exactly where mine ends
I have tried my hand at bribery,
Blackmail, and deceit
And I've served time for everything,
'Cept begging on the street
Well, once I was rather prosperous,
There was nothing I did lack;
I had fourteen carat gold in my mouth
And silk upon my back
But I did not trust my brother;
I carried him to blame
Which led me to my fated doom,
To wander off in shame
Kind ladies and kind gentlemen,
Soon I will be gone
Let me just warn you all,
Before I do pass on:
Stay free from petty jealousies,
And live by no man's code,
And hold your judgment for yourself,
Lest you wind up on this road
Without family or friends
Where another man's life might begin,
That's exactly where mine ends
I have tried my hand at bribery,
Blackmail, and deceit
And I've served time for everything,
'Cept begging on the street
Well, once I was rather prosperous,
There was nothing I did lack;
I had fourteen carat gold in my mouth
And silk upon my back
But I did not trust my brother;
I carried him to blame
Which led me to my fated doom,
To wander off in shame
Kind ladies and kind gentlemen,
Soon I will be gone
Let me just warn you all,
Before I do pass on:
Stay free from petty jealousies,
And live by no man's code,
And hold your judgment for yourself,
Lest you wind up on this road
