lyrics

chorus

hobos
tramps
and bums
in this poor
little world
more common
than your
thumbs
but they ain't the same
they got a different flame
that burns them
through their gums
those hobos
tramps
and bums

first verse

well
a tramp'll beg
and a bum'll steal
but a hobo's steady
like a wagon wheel
pick the crop
carry slop
take whatever meal
be it steak
be it ole wind puddin

chorus

second verse
well
a tramp'll be sleeping
through the break 'o day
and a bum'll pick a scrap
if you look her way
but a hobo keep working
til their fingers fray
they keep busy
their heart ain't dizzy

chorus

bridge
you see
a tramp he ain't
but loaf and wander
and a bum
she drinks and wanders
a hobo works
and wanders
if you can't suss out the difference
well I guess you're pretty dumb
oh those
hobos
tramps
and bums

one more time
you see
a tramp he ain't
but loaf and wander
and a bum
she drinks and wanders
a hobo works
and wanders
if you can't suss out the difference
well I guess you're pretty dumb
oh those
hobos
tramps
and bums

hobos
tramps
and bums
