Too late to feel sorrow

And he'll soon be far away from here

Oh, don't make him ask you

He was a war hero

And that's how he hurt his leg

He killed thirty injuns

He's just an old hobo

Asleep out in the hall

A wife and five children

They miss their dear daddy

Who's gone so far away

They still have his picture

C/G              Am
It's hung on the wall

He's just an old hobo

Asleep out in the hall
