HALLELUJAH IM A BUM by Harry McClintock Lyrics

Rejoice and be glad for the Springtime has come We can throw down our shovels and go on the bum Hallelujah, I'm a bum, Hallelujah, bum again Hallelujah, give us a handout to revive us again The Springtime has come and I'm just out of jail Without any money, without any bail Hallelujah, I'm a bum, Hallelujah, bum again Hallelujah, give us a handout to revive us again I went to a house and I rapped on the door And the lady says, "Bum, bum, you've been here before" Hallelujah, I'm a bum, Hallelujah, bum again Hallelujah, give us a handout to revive us again I like Jim Hill, he's a good friend of mine That is why I am hiking down Jim Hill's main line Hallelujah, I'm a bum, Hallelujah, bum again Hallelujah, give us a handout to revive us again I went to a house and I asked for some bread And the lady says, "Bum, bum, the baker is dead" Hallelujah, I'm a bum, Hallelujah, bum again Hallelujah, give us a handout to revive us again Why don't you work like other men do Now, how can I work when there's no work to do Hallelujah, I'm a bum, Hallelujah, bum again Hallelujah, give us a handout to revive us again Why don't you save all the money you earn If I didn't eat, I'd have money to burn Hallelujah, I'm a bum, Hallelujah, bum again Hallelujah, give us a handout to revive us again I don't like work and work don't like me And that is the reason I am so hungry Hallelujah, I'm a bum, Hallelujah, bum again Hallelujah, give us a handout to revive us again
