Old Boy Network - Hobo Joe Lyrics
Did you ever hear about hobo joeLied and cheated, to make some doughOnce was a jockey or so they sayBut no one’s sure until this dayMet his wife a long time agoOn a crawler bound for mexicoA fortune teller to all who camePlayed her fiddle on the trainThey wed one day on a south bound trainBut her life was sad and filled with painShe lived fast and loose it’s saidBut one cold night he found her deadIt was sad but strange and funnyShe was stacked with loads of moneyShe’d been rich and famous tooAnd whole lotta’ friends from the well to doNow hobo joe was a very rich manStill hitched a ride around the landBought a car and a villa tooStill a gambling man through and throughHobo joe, lived a long lifeHe spent the money from his loving wifeSo place your bet on a horse named joeYou’ll become rich…you never know
