The Triffids - I Am a Lonesome Hobo lyrics

Artist: The Triffids

album: Treeless Plain


Well I am a lonesome hobo
Without family or friends
Where another man's life it 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
Except begging on the street
Once I was rather prosperous
There was nothing I did lack
I had fourteen-carat gold in my mouth
I had silk upon my back
But I did not trust my brother
I carried him to blame
Which led me to my fatal doom
To wander off in shame
Kind ladies and kind gentlemen
Soon I will be gone
But I would like to warn you all
Before I do pass on
Stay free from petty jealousies
Live by no man's code
And hold your judgment for yourself
Lest you wind up on this road
