Hobo Story
Key of C
V1.) Down by the river bottom In the jungle by the track when a hobo jumps a freight train he aint never comin' back. Life there's tougher than a rail yard, twice as hard to catch a train, when you're heart is fond of ramblin' you gotta hit the rails again.
V2.) When you ride inside a boxcar be careful how you run gotta make sure you don't wind up on the wrong side of a gun. Then one day some day maybe you'll leave the hobo's life settle in a city with a gal who'll be you wife.
V3.) Sometimes when you ride the rails it gets hard to survive sometimes you'll meet old hobos that are still alive. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The stories they tell are many you can learn a thing or two like I learned from my grand dad who was a hobo too.
V4.) Grand dad rode the rails back in the good old days so when I was a young lad I learned some hobo ways. I learned about white lightning and elderberry wine and how to make that hobo stew that tasted mighty fine.
V5.) So that's my hobo story just one of many tales that I learned from my grand dad who really rode the rails. Now grand dad's up in heaven prob'ly ridin' on a train if there's freight trains up in heaven he'll ride a boxcar once again.
