Hobo Blues - Cuby & The Blizzards

When I first started to hobo

I’m taking a freight train to be my friend

You know all ready

And you got no loot

You got to get somewhere fast

You got to hobo you got to hitch hike

You got to do anything

So I went to the station that night

And when they were not looking

I got myself a freight train

When I first started to hobo

I’m taking a freight train to be my friend

When I first started to hobo

I’m taking a freight train to be my friend

A hobo a long way from home

The sun is coming up

When I first started to hobo

I’m taking a freight train to be my friend

When I first started to hobo

I’m taking a freight train to be my friend

A hobo a long way from home

That sun is coming up you know

Lord have mercy

Help me on my way

Have mercy

Help me on my way

Help me where I’m going now

Freight train be my friend

I got myself a freight train

And my dear old mother

My dear old mother she’d followed me down to the yard

She said my son is gone

My poor son is gone

In that big wide world somewhere
