I Am A Lonesome Hobo Lyrics - John Wesley Harding - Bob Dylan

I am a lonesome hobo 

Without family or friends, 

Where another man's life might begin, 

That's exactly where mine ends. 

I have tried my hand at bribery, 

Blackmail and deceit, 

And I've served time for ev'rything 

'Cept beggin' on the street. 

Well, once I was rather prosperous, 

There was nothing I did lack. 

I had fourteen-karat gold in my mouth 

And 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 let me just 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.
