I Am a Lonesome Hobo-Thea Gilmore

[00:00.77]music [00:24.04]I am a lonesome hobo [00:27.95]Without family or friends, [00:35.86]Where another man's life might begin, [00:38.42]That's exactly where mine ends. [00:44.06]I have tried my hand at bribery, [00:48.01]Blackmail and deceit, [00:54.67]And i've served time for ev'rything [00:58.06]'cept beggin' on the street. [01:01.18]music [01:10.42]Well, once i was rather prosperous, [01:14.29]There was nothing i did lack. [01:20.81]I had fourteen-karat gold in my mouth [01:24.36]And silk upon my back. [01:30.77]But i did not trust my brother, [01:34.40]I carried him to blame, [01:40.33]Which led me to my fatal doom, [01:45.44]To wander off in shame. [01:48.63]music [02:06.36]Kind ladies and kind gentlemen, [02:10.17]Soon i will be gone, [02:14.46]But let me just warn you all, [02:18.51]Before i do pass on; [02:24.62]Stay free from petty jealousies, [02:28.58]Live by no man's code, [02:34.41]And hold your judgment for yourself [02:37.98]Lest you wind up on this road.
