Let You In
He stumbled into town
The stink of day old beans and sweat and drink was hot
Yeah, he needed a flop
A mile from the Espee line
He found a gate with the secret sign in chalk
A ring and a cross
And it read in hobo code
If you tell a tale of woe
Then love will let you in
He crossed the yard with hat to heart
And rapped that sagging screen door hard
Sorry ma'am, mind if I come in?
Since Eustace died, she just got by
It was a mystery why they always turned by her fence
But such nice young men
Well, she gives 'em all she has
A meal, a bed, and bath
Yeah, love will let you in
Before daybreak he lit out in the rain
Caught a cow crate up to Casey, he sang and laughed
And counted her cash
She woke up to an empty dawn
Checked the dresser drawer, found the money gone
And she smiled, and put in another five
And when the sun dried up the fence
The neighbors never knew she went with chalk
And redrew her cross
Another 'bo rolls down the line
He'd been told about a sign
Where love will let you in
Oh, love will let you in
The stink of day old beans and sweat and drink was hot
Yeah, he needed a flop
A mile from the Espee line
He found a gate with the secret sign in chalk
A ring and a cross
And it read in hobo code
If you tell a tale of woe
Then love will let you in
He crossed the yard with hat to heart
And rapped that sagging screen door hard
Sorry ma'am, mind if I come in?
Since Eustace died, she just got by
It was a mystery why they always turned by her fence
But such nice young men
Well, she gives 'em all she has
A meal, a bed, and bath
Yeah, love will let you in
Before daybreak he lit out in the rain
Caught a cow crate up to Casey, he sang and laughed
And counted her cash
She woke up to an empty dawn
Checked the dresser drawer, found the money gone
And she smiled, and put in another five
And when the sun dried up the fence
The neighbors never knew she went with chalk
And redrew her cross
Another 'bo rolls down the line
He'd been told about a sign
Where love will let you in
Oh, love will let you in
