Hobo Blues
When I first started hoboin', hoboin', boy
I took a freight train to be my friend, oh Lord
Hmm-mm-hmm, mm-mm
Hmm-mm-hmm, hmm-mm
You know I hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd
Hobo'd a long, long way from home, oh Lord
You know my mother, she followed me that morning, me
That morning, that morning
She followed me down to the yard, oh Lord
Hmm-mm-hmm, mm-mm
Hmm-mm-hmm, hmm-mm
She said, "My son he's gone, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone"
Yes, he's gone in the world somewhere, oh Lord
Hmm-mm-hmm, mm-mm
Hmm-mm-hmm, hmm-mm
You know I left my dear old mother, dear old mother
Dear old mother
She was on her knees a'crying, oh Lord
Hmm-mm-hmm, mm-mm
Hmm-mm-hmm, hmm-mm
You know I hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd
Hobo'd a long, long way from home, oh Lord
I took a freight train to be my friend, oh Lord
Hmm-mm-hmm, mm-mm
Hmm-mm-hmm, hmm-mm
You know I hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd
Hobo'd a long, long way from home, oh Lord
You know my mother, she followed me that morning, me
That morning, that morning
She followed me down to the yard, oh Lord
Hmm-mm-hmm, mm-mm
Hmm-mm-hmm, hmm-mm
She said, "My son he's gone, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone"
Yes, he's gone in the world somewhere, oh Lord
Hmm-mm-hmm, mm-mm
Hmm-mm-hmm, hmm-mm
You know I left my dear old mother, dear old mother
Dear old mother
She was on her knees a'crying, oh Lord
Hmm-mm-hmm, mm-mm
Hmm-mm-hmm, hmm-mm
You know I hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd
Hobo'd a long, long way from home, oh Lord
