the tramp - chloe defector lyrics
[verse 1]
if you won’t shut your trap
i would tell you about a chap
that was broken up against a [?]
he was not the kind to shirk
he was looking hard for work
but he heard the same story everywhere
[chorus]
tramp tramp tramp
keep on a*tramping
nothing doing here for you
if i catch you round again
you will wear the ball and chain
keep on tramping
that’s the best thing you can do
[verse 2]
he walked up and down the street
till the shoes fell off his feet
in a house he spied a lady cooking stew
and he said “how do you do
may i chop some wood for you?”
but what the lady told him
made him feel so blue
[chorus]
tramp tramp tramp
keep on a*tramping
nothing doing here for you
if i catch you round again
you will wear the ball and chain
keep on tramping
that’s the best thing you can do
[verse 3]
across the street, a sign, he read
work for jesus, oh it said
and he said here’s my chance, i’ll surely try
and he kneeled upon the floor
until his knees got rather sore
but at eating time he heard the preacher cry
[chorus]
tramp tramp tramp
keep on a*tramping
nothing doing here for you
if i catch you round again
you will wear the ball and chain
keep on tramping
that’s the best thing you can do
[verse 4]
down the street he met a cop
and the copper made him stop
then he asked him
“when did you blow into town?”
so come with me up to the judge
but the judge he said “oh f*dg*
bums that have no money
needn’t come around”
[chorus]
tramp tramp tramp
keep on a*tramping
nothing doing here for you
if i catch you round again
you will wear the ball and chain
keep on tramping
that’s the best thing you can do
[verse 5]
finally came that happy day
when his life did pass away
he was sure he’d go to heaven when he died
when he reached the pearly gates
saint peter, mean old skate
slammed the gate right in his face
and out he cried
[chorus]
tramp tramp tramp
keep on a*tramping
nothing doing here for you
if i catch you round again
you will wear the ball and chain
keep on tramping
that’s the best thing you can do
[verse 6]
so he went on down to h*ll
with the devil for to dwell
for the reason he’d no other place to go
and he said “i’m full of sin
so for christ sake let me in”
but the devil said
“beat it you’re a ‘bo”
[chorus]
tramp tramp tramp
keep on a*tramping
nothing doing here for you
if i catch you round again
you will wear the ball and chain
keep on tramping
that’s the best thing you can do
