Lonesome Joe
There once lived a man, he came from Mexico They called him poor hobo, his name was Lonesome Joe He would ride the blinds, ride the rods below The cinders from the freight had scarred his face you know He knew every rail, he knew every tie He knew every water tank that he passed by And everywhere he went they called him poor hobo He lived a lonesome life, his name was Lonesome Joe
He knew every house and every store Where they would give a hand to a poor hobo He would tip his hat in the nicest way And he'd bow real low in a graceful way He'd eat a country ham and enjoy the fat Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com He'd take a hard boiled egg and put it in his hat He'd ask to mow your lawn in a tone of woe You know he'd never work this lonesome poor hobo
His shoes were always worn, sometimes they wouldn't match His hat was always flopped, his clothes were always patched He had the finest watch on the finest chain He'd keep the closest time on the fastest train I've seen him catch a freight, the best in the land I've seen him grab a freight, a sandwich in his hand He saw all the world but never made no dough He died a happy man his name was Lonesome Joe
