[Gm] [F] [C] [G]
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.
I [D] served time [C] for [G] everything except [C] begging [G] on the streets.
Well, once I was rather prosperous, there was nothing I did lack.
I had fourteen carats of gold in my mouth and silk up on my back.
But I did not trust my brother, I carried him to blame.
Which led me to [C] my fate of doom, to wander off [G] in shame.
Kind ladies and kind gentlemen, soon I will be gone.
But let me just warn you all, before I [C] do pass [G] on.
Stay free from petty jealousies, live by no man's code.
And hold your [D] judgement [C] for [G] yourself, lest [C] you wind up [G] on this road.
