Текст Bob Dylan — I Am a Lonesome Hobo

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,
And I’ve served time for ev’rything
‘Cept beggin’ on the street.

Well, once I was rather prosperous,
There was nothing I did lack,

I had fourteen-karat gold in my mouth
And silk upon my back,
But I did not trust my brother,
I carried him to blame
Which led me to my fatal doom
To wander off in shame.

Kind ladies and kind gentlemen,
Soon I will be gone,
But let me just warn you all
Before I do pass on,
Stay free from petty jealousies,
Live by no man’s code
And hold your judgment for yourself
Lest you wind up on this road.
