about

A hobo dreams of the day when he'll have a three-piece-suit, a diamond ring, a house and land, and settle down with the girl he loves – if only he could get $10.

lyrics

If I ever get ten dollars
gonna buy me a three piece suit and
gonna buy you a diamond ring and
gonna marry you.

If I ever get ten dollars
gonna buy me a piece of land and
build a house with a picket fence
with my own two hands.

If I ever get ten dollars
gonna quit this railway car and
hang up my walking shoes and
stay right where you are.
