Hallelujah, I’m a Bum !

1

Oh ! why don’t you work

Like other folk do ?

Why should I work

When I don’t want to ?

 

(Chorus)

Hallelujah, I’m a bum !

Hallelujah, bum again !

Hallelujah, give us a handout

To revive us again.

 

2

Oh why don’t you save

All the money you earn ?

If I did not eat

I’d have money to burn.

 

(Chorus)

 

3

Oh | like my boss

He’s a good friend of mine

That’s why I’m starving

Out on the bread line.

 

(Chorus)

 

4

I can’t buy a job

For I ain’t got the dough

So I ride in a box car

For I’m a hobo.

 

(Chorus)

 

5

Whenever I get

All the money I earn

The boss will be broke

And to work he must turn.

 

(Chorus)
