[Verse 1]
[G][D][G]
There once lived a man,
he came from Mexico
They called [D]him poor hobo,
his name was Lone[G]some Joe
He would ride the blinds,
ride the rods below
The cinder[D]s from the freight
had scarred his face [G]you know

[Verse 2]
He knew every rail, he [G]knew every tie
He knew every water tank [D]that he
passed by
And everywhere [G]he went
they called him poor hobo
He lived [D]a lonesome life,
his name was Lonesome [G]Joe

[Verse 3]
He [G]knew every house
and every store
Where they [D]would give a
hand to a poor [G]hobo
He would tip his hat in the nicest way
And [D]he'd bow real low in
a grace[G]ful way

[Verse 4]
He'd eat a country ham [G]and
enjoy the fat
He'd take a hard boiled egg
and put [D]it in his hat
He'd ask to mow [G]your lawn
in a tone of woe
You know [D]he'd never work this lonesome
poor [G]hobo

[Verse 5]
His shoes were always worn, [G]sometimes
they wouldn't match
His hat [D]was always flopped,
his clothes were al[G]ways patched
He had the finest watch on
the finest chain
He'd keep [D]the closest time on
the fast[G]est train

[Verse 6]
I've seen him catch a [G]freight,
the best in the land
I've seen him grab a freight,
a sand[D]wich in his hand
He saw all [G]the world but never
made no dough
He died [D]a happy man his name
was Lone[G]some Joe

[Outro 1]
[G][D][G]
