Some sody crackers and a sebmup
Some beanie weenies and a small fruit cup
A little stripedy candy completes my meal
Your tender lips would seal the deal
When I get hungry I call you dear
You said i could, I remember clear
I’m just a drifter in a drifting world
And you my dear, are the hobo’s girl
My wilder days, I’m glad they’re done
Don’t need no getaway cars or gun
Still i must ramble, I can’t say why
It hurts to know baby, you sit and cry
When i get lonesome I start to yearn
I start to wonder, will I never learn?
Some girls get diamonds, some get pearls
You get me, you’re the hobo’s girl
I have a dream one day to settle down
In a sleepy kind of nowhere town
And in my dream I see there side by side
The nervous groom and his blushing bride
I know that you are a dreamer too
You believe, just like I do
That for a hobo and the hobo’s girl
Why this could be a perfect world
Some sliced tomatoes, some turnip greens
Some mashed potatoes and a streak of lean
Alittle nana puddin and it’ll be just right
Then we’ll hold hands by the tv light
When i get hungry i call you dear
You said i could, I remember clear
I’m just a drifter in this crazy world
And you my dear, are the hobo’s girl
