Hobo Lady

[D]Hobo lady of mine,

I never knew from whence you came, what a shame.
And [A]every time I'd ask her she'd explain,
Well I'm a [G]ramblin', just a [D]ramblin' kind of a gal,
you know that [A]washin the dishes ain't exactly my busy day.
[E]  So if you want to get it on with me,
you better [G]hush up honey, here's what to say
[D]come a runnin' honey,
gonna [G]jump aboard the Santa [D]Fe.   [A]    [A]     [A]      [A]

[D]Hobo lady of mine,

a specimen of the lesser kind, she's fine.
Well she's a [A]cannonball rider from way down home.
[G]Dirty jeans and that [D]ragged tawny hair.
She's the [A]belle of every bum who's got a heart.
A [E]shaggy little momma with a way out life,
a real [G]jelly roll baker from way back when.
[D]Come a little closer first [G]lady of the lower [D]class.  [A]   [A]    [A]     [A]

[D]Hum drum miss American gal, come on and

take a little tip from me and be, now,
some[A]one you don't find in the classroom every day.
[G]Just think of how that little [D]hobo lady does
when you're [A]making sure of arithmetic.
[E]It's such a drag to stay behind,
we [G]leave our callin' all of the time.
So [D]come a runnin honey and I'm [G]gonna satisfy your [D]soul.  [A]   [A]    [A]     [A]

[instru verse to chorus:]

[E]So if you want to get it on with me
you better [G]hush up honey, here's what to say.
[D]Come a runnin honey and [G]I'm gonna satisfy your [D]soul. [A]  [A]   [A]    [A]
[D]Come a runnin honey and [G]I'm gonna satisfy your [D]s[D]o[D]ul[A].[A] [A]   [D]
