John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom: The Best Of

Hobo Blues - Studio Original

When I first started hoboin', hoboin', boy
I took a freight train to be my friend, oh, Lord, mm
You know I hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd
Hobo'd a long, long way from home, oh, Lord, mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Yeah, my mother followed me that mornin'
Me that mornin', boy-um-mm
She followed me down to the yard, oh-yeah, mm

She said my son he gone, he gone, he's gone
Yes, he's gone in the world somewhere, oh-yeah, mm
Mm-mm, mm, mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm, mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm-mm

Yes I left my dear old mother, dear old mother, mm
I left her on her knees a-cryin', oh, Lord, mm
Take care a-my child, take care a-him, take care a-my child, mm

Mm, mm-mm-mm
