Hobo And The Rose
Recorded by Webb Pierce
Written by Vincent Matthews and Don Vinson
C F C C7 F
It happened many years ago not many people know
C F G7 C
So I'll tell you the story of a hobo and the rose
F C F
In our town a young man loved this lady fair
C F C G7 C
He gave to her a white rose to wear in her hair
F C F
But she in turn gave to him a rose that he would wear
C F C G7 C
To prove that their love was true and that they'd always care
F C F
But her father was a rich man the town respected him
C F
Since the young man was a poor man's son
C G7 C
Their chance for love grew dim
F C F
Her father forced upon her another man to wed
C F C G7 C
And this put the young man on the tracks so the people said
F C F
He became a hobo in dirty ragged clothes
C F C G7 C
But upon the dirty clothes he wore he wore this one white rose
F C F
He traveled far to many towns in his life upon the tracks
C F C G7 C
But he never found another love so he decided to come back
F C F
His sweetheart was still married her children numbered five
C F C G7 C
And trying to make her house a home she forgot he was alive
F C F
Then one day she saw a crowd gathered by the railroad track
C F C G7 C
By the sign of the one white rose she knew that he'd come back
F C F
There she saw a beaten man in dirty ragged clothes
C F C G7 C
She only recognized him by the one crushed white rose
F C F
They buried him in a poor man's grave out on Proper's Hill
C F C G7 C
With no one to mourn him but the lonely whippoorwill
F C F
If you should pass his grave on a warm summer's night
C F C G7 C
You'll see upon his grave a rose so clear and white
(the next two lines are spoken)
F C F
This is my story always I suppose
C F C G7 C
The sad sad story of the hobo and the rose
G7 C G7 C
A hobo and the rose a hobo and the rose
