As I was out walking on a corner one day

6 6 6 6 -6 6 5 5 -5 4 -4
I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay

6 6 6 6 -6 6 5 -4 4 4 4
His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor

4 5 6 -6 6 5 4 -5 5 -4 4
And I guess he'd been there for the whole night or more.

Only a hobo, but one more is gone

6 6 6 6 -6 6 5 5 -5 4 -4

6 6 6 -6 6 5 -4 4 4 4
Leavin' nobody to carry him home

4 5 6 -6 6 5 4 -5 5 -4 4
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
