Munged Lyrics

As I was out walking on the corner one day
I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay
His face was all covered in the cold sidewalk floor
I guess he'd been there for a whole night or more

As Eye was out walking on the corner won day
Eye spied an old hobo, inn the doorway he ley
His face was awl covered inn the cold sidewalk flaw
Eye guess heed bean they're fore a whole knight ore moor

He was only a hobo, butt won moor is gone
Leaving nobody too carry it on
Leaving nobody too sing his sad song
Only a hobo, butt won moor is gone

A blanket of newspaper covered his head
The step was his pillow
The street was his bed
Won look at his face
showed the hard rode heed come
and a fistful of money
showed the coins that heed bummed

He was only a hobo, butt won moor is gone
Leavin ' nobody too sing his sad song
Leavin ' nobody too carry it on
Only a hobo, butt won moor is gone

Does it take much of a man
too sea a whole life go down
Too look on the whirled
from a hole inn the ground
Two late fore yaw future
like a hoarse that's gone lame
Too lye inn the gutter
and dye with know name

He was only a hobo, butt won moor is gone
Leavin ' nobody too sing his sad song
Leavin ' nobody too carry it on
Only a hobo, butt won moor is gone

Only A Hobo
