Lena Horne
My Heart Is a Hobo
My heart is a hobo
Loves to roam through fields of clover
Hates to have to think things over
And though it's wrong
I string along
My heart is a hobo
Loves to go out berry pickin'
Hates to hear alarm clocks tickin'
It isn't smart
But that's my heart
When hopes are out of the elbows
Dreams are run down at the heels
My heart refuses to worry
It's funny how free it feels
My heart is a hobo
Loves to quote from Omar Khayyam
Hates the stodgy gal that I am
And though it's strange
I just can't change my heart
When hopes are out oat the elbows
And dreams are run down at the heels
My heart refusеs to worry
It's funny how free it feels
I'm happy my heart is a hobo
Loves to quote from Omar Khayyam
Hatеs the stubborn gal that I am
And though it's strange
I just can't change
Or even rearrange my heart
