HALLELUJAH, I'M A BUM (HARRY McCLINTOCK) (1897/1908)
Tune: "Revive Us Again" (trad.)
Why don't you work like other folks do?
How the hell can I work when there's no work to do?
[ALTERNATE LAST LINES: How the hell can I work when the sky is so blue?
OR: How can I get a job when you're holding down two?]
CHORUS:
Hallelujah, I'm a bum,
Hallelujah, bum again,
Hallelujah, give us a handout
To revive us again.
Oh, why don't you save all the money you earn?
If I didn't eat, I'd have money to burn.
Whenever I get all the money I earn,
The boss will be broke, and to work he must turn.
Oh, I like my boss, he's a good friend of mine,
That's why I am starving out on the breadline.
When springtime it comes, oh, won't we have fun;
We'll throw off our jobs, and go on the bum.
I can't buy a job 'cause I ain't got the dough,
So I ride in a boxcar 'cause I'm a hobo.
I went to a bar and I asked for a drink,
They gave me a glass and they showed me the sink.
I went to a house, And I knocked on the door;
A lady came out, says, "You been here before."
I went to a house, And I asked for a piece of bread;
A lady came out, says, "The baker is dead."

"In addition to refusing to cultivate any wholesome interest in group activities, he is perverse, crafty, and wanton in those in which he does engage. These are, I feel impelled to emphasize, far beyond the outcroppings of normal juvenile mischief; in fact, they are the early evidences of what may be an extraordinarily morbid ingenuity. I have gone to such length in describing the situation because I know that you will want to be thoroughly informed of the facts."
