MY PAPA WAS A HOBO
WHEN THEY DELIVERED ME
WE DIDN'T HAVE A DOCTOR
CAUSE HE COULD'T PAY THE FEE
AND HE GOING FAR TO FAT TO EASIEST MISERY
AND PAPA PLAYED THE 'DOBRO' THIS WAY
(..AND HE GOES..)

WHEN OTHER PEOPLE CAME AROUND
HE KEPT THE 'DOBRO' HIDDEN
HE KNOW HE COULDN'T PLAY THE WAY
THE OTHER PLAYER'S DID
AND THE DOBRO RESONATOR WAS A GALLON BUCK OF LED
AND PAPA PLAYED THE 'DOBRO' THIS WAY
(..AND HE GOES..)

AND NOW THE PAPA'S GONA WAY
IS HANGING BY THE FLOOR
THE TOP OF IT IS BUSTED
AND THE STRINGS RUSTED TOO
IT WILL NEVER SOUND THE WAY IT DID WHEN IT WAS NEW
WHEN PAPA PLAYED THE 'DOBRO' THIS WAY
(..AND HE GOES..)
