Lyrics The Broken Down Tramp - The Carter Family
I'm
a
broken
down
tramp
without
money
My
clothes
are
all
tattered
and
torn
And
I
am
so
sad
and
so
lonely
I
wish
I
had
never
been
born
All
through
this
wide
world
I
have
wandered
Inquiring
for
something
to
do
But
whenever
I
ask
for
a
job
of
work
They
say
they
have
none
for
a
tramp
Now
drink
was
the
cause
of
my
downfall
And
the
money
I
had
I've
outrun
And
the
friends
that
were
mine
when
I
had
it
Now
pass
by
and
call
me
a
bum
Now
don't
be
too
hasty
to
judge
me
As
I
drift
along
with
the
tide
My
clothes
may
be
ragged
and
dirty
But
a
clean
heart
is
beating
inside
One
night
on
a
dark
lonely
railroad
A
hobo
all
hungry
and
cold
Saw
an
empty
boxcar
on
the
siding
He
climbed
in
and
closed
up
the
door
Six
months
he
had
rode
on
the
railway
When
the
brakeman
came
'round
with
his
light
He
was
shoved
from
the
car
and
was
killed
by
the
train
Because
he
was
only
a
tramp
Now
young
men,
let
this
be
a
warning
For
all
you
who
long
for
the
road
Better
stick
to
the
straight
life
and
don't
be
like
me
A
poor
bum
to
die
in
the
cold
