Ooh, oohoohoo, ooh ooh
Ooh, oohoohoo, ooh ooh

Heading out on my way to nowhere
Just a travelling man
Hitching rides along the highway
From whoever I can

Gotta stop someplace, somewhere
And put some leather on my shoes
They’re the only pair that get me there
Any horizon that I choose_______
Ooh, oohoohoo, ooh ooh

I know when the cold wind blows
My coat will keep me warm
I’ve got no woman’s love
To call my own

I saw you lying there
A cast-off from another man
So I picked you up, took you home
And home is on my back_______
Ooh, oohoohoo, ooh ooh

Lonely hobo lullaby
Is my song
Lonely hobo lullaby
Gets me along

My shoes, my coat, my jeans
And anything else I own
We’re a family without a tree
No roots to hold me down________
Ooh, oohoohoo, ooh ooh

Ooh, oohoohoo, ooh ooh

Heading out on my way to nowhere
Just a travelling man
Hitching rides along the highway
From whoever I can

Gotta stop someplace, somewhere

He said, “Lucy’s been seeing me
And things just ain’t right
You’ll have to hold things together
‘Cause Lucy ain’t much time”

CHORUS:
Now, should I tell her or keep it inside
Making her happy by feeding her lies
How ‘m I gonna tell the children that Mama’s going away
I couldn’t love another woman
Oh, Lucy please stay

If I’m a-gonna lose you
After all this time
I’m gonna make life more beautiful
I’m gonna make you, make you feel fine

If we make tomorrow
We’ll make it better every way
We’ll keep on building
‘Cause we’re living day to day

CHORUS:
Now, should I tell her or keep it inside
Making her happy by feeding her lies
How ‘m I gonna tell the children that Mama’s going away
I couldn’t love another woman
Oh, Lucy please stay
I couldn’t love another woman
Lucy please stay

OUTRO: G Am
Baby, baby
Baby, Lucy please, oh, won’t you stay
I need you, I need you
Please don’t go, please don’t go
Lucy please, please won’t you stay, hey
I want you to know that I love you
I love you
