Lyrics from Riverboat Annie Mud Cat
Men All Want to Be Hobos
[D]
She needs a man to hold her hand
and love her tender care
He wants to know when he comes and goes
[G] [D]
that she will stay right there
[G]
He really wants to be a hobo
[D]
the road he wants to fill
[D]
While she stays home and bakes the pies
[A] [D]
and leaves them on the windowsill
[D]
Shes a faithful wife and she gives her life
[G] [D]
and will die for just one man
while a rambler tries to be a gambler
[G] [D]
and love as many women as he can
[G]
and so he flows and rows and grows
[D]
to know a hobos cure
But a hobos cure is a woman's lure
[A] [D]
that pie on the windowsill
[G] [D]
She gives to him and he receives
[G] [D]
They love and then he leaves
[G] [D]
He lies and cries and says goodby
[E7] [A]
Little darling don't you grieve
[D]
So he roams and she stays home
[G] [D]
and does what a woman will
dries her eyes and bakes her pies
[A] [D]
and leaves them on the windowsill
She gives to him and he receives
[G] [D]
they love and then he leaves
He lies and cries and says goodbye
[E7] [A]
little darling don't you grieve
[D]
So he roams and she stays home
[G] [D]
and does what a woman will
dries her eyes and bakes her pies
[A] [D]
and leaves them on the windowsill
