Lied and cheated, to make some dough
Once was a jockey or so they say
But no one’s sure until this day
Met his wife a long time ago
On a crawler bound for mexico
A fortune teller to all who came
Played her fiddle on the train
They wed one day on a south bound train
But her life was sad and filled with pain
She lived fast and loose it’s said
But one cold night he found her dead
It was sad but strange and funny
She was stacked with loads of money
She’d been rich and famous too
And whole lotta’ friends from the well to do
Now hobo joe was a very rich man
Still hitched a ride around the land
Bought a car and a villa too
Still a gambling man through and through
Hobo joe, lived a long life
He spent the money from his loving wife
So place your bet on a horse named joe
You’ll become rich…you never know
Did you ever hear about hobo joe Lied and cheated, to make some dough Once was a jockey or so they say But no one’s sure until this day Met his wife a long time ago On a crawler bound for mexico A fortune teller to all who came Played her fiddle on the train They wed one day on a south bound train But her life was sad and filled with pain She lived fast and loose it’s said But one cold night he found her dead It was sad but strange and funny She was stacked with loads of money She’d been rich and famous too And whole lotta’ friends from the well to do Now hobo joe was a very rich man Still hitched a ride around the land Bought a car and a villa too Still a gambling man through and through Hobo joe, lived a long life He spent the money from his loving wife So place your bet on a horse named joe You’ll become rich…you never know Explain Request ×
