Lyrics
Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose, heading down the track
Baby kicked him out he ain't never going back
Old Man Mose
Old man Mose
Old man Mose, heading down the track,
Old man Mose he ain't never comin' back
Old Man Mose, heading down the road,
Old Man Mose don't know where to go
Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose heading down the road
Old man Mose been all around this wide, wide, world.
Old Man Mose, didn't commit no crime
Old Man Mose just walking down the line
Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose, walking down the line,
Old Man Mose didn't commit no crime.
BREAK
Police said, he's a sly and wily man
Old Man Mose, just catch him if you can
Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose, catch him if you can,
Old Man Mose, a sly and wily man.
Old Man Mose, don't know what to do.
Cornered in the alley, he got nothing to lose.
Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose got nothing to lose
The bullets cut him through and through
Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose, he is dead and gone
Left me here to sing this lonesome song'
Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose
Old Man Mose, dead and gone
