Only A Hobo Lyrics - Bob Dylan

As I was out walking on a corner one day, 

I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay. 

His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor 

And I guess he'd been there for the whole night or more. 

Only a hobo, but one more is gone 

Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song 

Leavin' nobody to carry him home 

Only a hobo, but one more is gone 

A blanket of newspaper covered his head, 

As the curb was his pillow, the street was his bed. 

One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come 

And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed.

Only a hobo, but one more is gone 

Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song 

Leavin' nobody to carry him home 

Only a hobo, but one more is gone 

Does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down, 

To look up on the world from a hole in the ground, 

To wait for your future like a horse that's gone lame, 

To lie in the gutter and die with no name?
