Hallelujah! I’m a Bum

3 4 4 4 4
Oh why don’t I work
-4 5 5 5 5
Like other men do?
4 5 6 6 6 -6
How the heck can I work
6 5 -4 -4 -4 -4
When there’s no work to do?

Chorus:
6 6 -6 6 5 -4 4
Hal-le-lu-jah, I’m a bum,
6 6 -6 6 5 5 -4
Hal-le-lu-jah, I’m a bum
6 6 -6 6 5 -4 4
Hal-le-lu-jah, give a hand
5 5 -5 5 -4 4
To a well meaning man

I went to a house
And asked for a steak
But the lady said no
So I had to eat cake
(Chorus)

In winter I go
Down south where it’s hot
And my summer vacation
Is spent on a lot
(Chorus)

One day when I swore
I’d mend all my ways
I was sent off to jail
For to spend thirty days
(Chorus)
