Railroad Bum
I used to be a railroad bum
A living on the go
I rode freights from Canada
Down to Mexico
From sunny Cal to Minnesota
Where the rippling waters falls
I never seemed to have a dime
But I had myself a ball
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
I walked in to the Silver Dollar
In Reno one night
Dropped a quarter
In a one armed bandit
The lemons lined up right
Took my winnings then played poker
And I won ten thousand more
I used to be a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
-Instrumentals-
When cotton's white in Tennessee
And shrimp boats sail in Maine
Peach-picking time soon will
Find me ridin' a Georgia train
Cause I get restless when
I'm still I guess I always will
Want to be travelling all my life
Over another hill
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
I used to be a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
A living on the go
I rode freights from Canada
Down to Mexico
From sunny Cal to Minnesota
Where the rippling waters falls
I never seemed to have a dime
But I had myself a ball
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
I walked in to the Silver Dollar
In Reno one night
Dropped a quarter
In a one armed bandit
The lemons lined up right
Took my winnings then played poker
And I won ten thousand more
I used to be a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
-Instrumentals-
When cotton's white in Tennessee
And shrimp boats sail in Maine
Peach-picking time soon will
Find me ridin' a Georgia train
Cause I get restless when
I'm still I guess I always will
Want to be travelling all my life
Over another hill
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
I used to be a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
