Michael Penn, Sweet Relief & Aimee Mann - Hallelujah! I'm A Bum Lyrics

Michael Penn, Sweet Relief & Aimee Mann Lyrics

"Hallelujah! I'm A Bum"

Rejoice and be glad, for the springtime has come
We can throw down our shovels and go on the bum
Yeah the springtime has come and I'm just out of jail
Without any money, without any bail

Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Hallelujah, bum again
Hallelujah, give us a handout
And revive us again

I went to a house and I rapped on the door
And the lady says, "Bum, bum, you've been here before"
Why don't you work like other men do?
Well, how can I work when there's no work to do?

Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Hallelujah, bum again
Hallelujah, give us a handout
And revive us again

Why don't you save all the money you earn?
If I didn't eat, I'd have money to burn

Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Hallelujah, bum again
Hallelujah, give us a handout
And revive us again

I like Jim Hill, he's a good friend of mine
That's why I am hiking down Jim Hill's main line

Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Hallelujah, bum again
Hallelujah, give us a handout
And revive us again

Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Hallelujah, bum again
Hallelujah, give us a handout
And revive us again

Hallelujah, give us a handout
And revive us again
