Cm
C
Come all you jolly jokers
G
If you want to have some fun,
And listen while I relate the tale
C
Of the Great American Bum.
Cm
From the east and west
G
Like a swarm of bees they come,
They sleep in the dirt and
they wear a shirt
C
That's dirty and full of crumb.
Chorus: I am a bum, a jolly old bum
Verse 2
C
And
G
I live like a royal Turk
And I have good luck
And I bum all my chuck
And to heck with the man that
C
works
Verse 3
C
It's early in the morning
G
When the dew is on the ground,
The bum arises from his nest
Cm
Well goin' east, they're loaded,
C
G
and goin' west, sealed tight,
I reckon we'll have to ride
Aboard the fast express tonight.
C

Verse 4
Chorus:
Cm
I beat my way from Frisco
C
G
To the rockbound coast of Maine
From Canada to Mexico
C
And then all the way back again.
Verse 5
C
Well, I met a man the other day
G
That I never met before
And he asked me if I wanted a job
Cm
I asked what the wages was
C
G
And he said "Ten cents a ton"
I said "Oh fella, go scratch your...neck,
C
I'd rather be on the bum."
G
Verse 6
C
Chorus:
Cm
Oh lady would you be kind enough
C
G
to give me something to eat?
A piece of bread and butter,
C
And a tender slice of meat,
Cm
Some apple pie and custard
C
G
Just to tickle my appetite.
For really I'm so hungry
C
Don't know where I'll sleep tonight.
