My Heart Is A Hobo

My Heart Is A Hobo - Lena Horne

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 at the elbows

And dreams are run down at the heels

My heart refuses to worry

It's funny how free it feels

I'm happy my heart is a hobo

Loves to quote from Omar Khayyam

Hates the stubborn gal that I am

And though it's strange

I just can't change

Or even rearrange my heart
