[Intro]
G D G
[Verse 1]
G
There once lived a man, he came from Mexico
D G
They called him poor hobo, his name was Lonesome Joe
G
He would ride the blinds, ride the rods below
D G
The cinders from the freight had scarred his face you know
[Chorus]
G
He knew every rail, he knew every tie
D
He knew every water tank that he passed by
G
And everywhere he went they called him poor hobo
D G
He lived a lonesome life, his name was Lonesome Joe
[Instrumental]
G D G D G
[Verse 2]
G
He knew every house and every store
D G
Where they would give a hand to a poor hobo
G
He would tip his hat in the nicest way
D G
And he'd bow real low in a graceful way
[Chorus]
G
He'd eat a country ham and enjoy the fat
D
He'd take a hard boiled egg and put it in his hat
G
He'd ask to mow your lawn in a tone of woe
D G
You know he'd never work this lonesome poor hobo
[Instrumental]
