You'll find me on the road
with my billy in my hand.
Got a guitar on my shoulder,
I'm a Kiwi Hobo, a strange kind of man.
I shot a rabbit yesterday,
skinned that bunny right away
And made myself a pot of rabbit stew
It's the only meal I can afford,
I can dodge that rabbit board
I'll get another in a day or two
I wandered in a pub one night,
some fellas got into a fight
Till I started strumming my guitar
They soon began to dance and sing,
a woman did the highland cling,
made me feel just like a TV star.
you'll find me on the road
with my belly in my hand,
Got a guitar on my shoulder,
I'm a Kiwi hobo, a strange kind of man
Went fishing on the lake one day,
I hooked a big one right away
I got him close and said, you're mine
He gave a tug and he broke the line
I don't think I'll go fishing any more
I've been from Auckland to the bluff,
sometimes I think I've had enough,
When I wake each day and day
and get the smell of Newmown hay,
hit the road and head right out of town
I'm a Kiwi hobo, a strange kind of man,
you'll find me on the road
Got a guitar on my shoulder,
I'm a kiwi hobo, a strange kind of man
