Any Old Place I Can Hang My Hat 1901

I've travelled round the world a bit,
I've been from coast to coast,
had ev'ry kind of food to eat,
from eggs to quail on toast,
there's not a gate in any state,
that hasn't got my mark,
one night I sleep in some hotel,
next night on a bench in the park.

I ain't got no regular place
that I can call my home,
I ain't got no permanent address,
as thro' this world I roam.
Portland, Maine
is just the same as sunny Tennessee
any old place I can hang my hat
is home sweet home to me.

I ain't got no regular place
that I can call my home,
I ain't got no permanent address,
as thro' this world I roam.
Portland, Maine
is just the same as sunny Tennessee
any old place I can hang my hat
is home sweet home to me.

I've never had a loving wife,
to share my misery,
and when I die I'm very sure
there'll be no tears for me,
In sun or rain I feel the same,
on land or on the sea,
as thro' this little world I roam,
all towns look alike to me.

I ain't got no regular place
that I can call my home,
I ain't got no permanent address,
as thro' this world I roam.
Portland, Maine
is just the same as sunny Tennessee
any old place I can hang my hat
is home sweet home to me.

I ain't got no regular place
that I can call my home,
I ain't got no permanent address,
as thro' this world I roam.
Portland, Maine
is just the same as sunny Tennessee
any old place I can hang my hat
is home sweet home to me.
