HOJO

I am a wild rover, I've worked the world over
I've roughnecked in Saudi, I've fished out of Maine
I've trucked the Panhandle, I've sailed from Freemantle
I'm a rough guy and I'm a tough guy and Hojo's my name

My Ma was a dancer, my Pa was a rancher
They met in the bar of the Crystal Hotel
Well he wined her and dined her and I'm the reminder
I'm a he man, as you can see man, and Hojo's my name

I've said Sayonora to the girls in Jakarta
I've said Au revoir to mamselles in Paree
And the girls in Tahiti are sure gonna miss me
Co's I'm a big man, I mean a big man, and Hojo's my name

I once was a miner in North Carolina,
I quit when the pit boss stopped breathing one day
Well he swallowed my pick, co's I don't take no lip
I'm a mean man, that's what I've been man, and Hojo's my name

I live life a loner, no man is my owner
My mates is my muscles, my sweat and my pain
I hoop and I holler, and I've killed for a dollar
Co's I'm a wild man, I'm not a mild man, and Hojo's my name

I work where there's danger, to death I'm no stranger
I've been to his door and I'd go back again
Co's I'm big and I'm hairy, and nothing can scare me
I'm a mad man -- but I'm a sad man and my heart's full of pain

Dear Lord won't you help me, my heart is so empty
I talk mighty tough but inside I feel pain
Lord Jesus please hear me, I know you are near me
. . . this is Hojo, little Hojo -- I want to be born again
