Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major)
There once lived a man,
he came from Mexico
They called (D major) him poor hobo,
his name was Lone (G major) some Joe
He would ride the blinds,
ride the rods below
The cinder (D major) s from the freight
had scarred his face (G major) you know
Verse 2
He knew every rail, he (G major) knew every tie
He knew every water tank (D major) that he
passed by
And everywhere (G major) he went
they called him poor hobo
He lived (D major) a lonesome life,
his name was Lonesome (G major) Joe

Verse 3
He (G major) knew every house
and every store
Where they (D major) would give a
hand to a poor (G major) hobo
He would tip his hat in the nicest way
And (D major) he'd bow real low in
a grace (G major) ful way
Verse 4
He'd eat a country ham and (G major)
enjoy the fat
He'd take a hard boiled egg
and put (D major) it in his hat
He'd ask to mow (G major) your lawn
in a tone of woe
You know (D major) he'd never work this lonesome
poor (G major) hobo

Verse 5
His shoes were always worn, sometimes (G major)
they wouldn't match
His hat (D major) was always flopped,
his clothes were al (G major) ways patched
He had the finest watch on
the finest chain
He'd keep (D major) the closest time on
the fast (G major) est train
Verse 6
I've seen him catch a (G major) freight,
the best in the land
I've seen him grab a freight,
a sand (D major) wich in his hand
He saw all (G major) the world but never
made no dough
He died (D major) a happy man his name
was Lone (G major) some Joe
