"Hobo Jo and the train" (Song)

"Hobo Jo and the train"

My name is Hobo Jo and I’m tryin’ to hitch a ride

It’s cold and it’s dreary with my bindle by my side

I’m just a little Hobo and I’m tryin to make my way

Goin’ here or goin’ there, I jump the train each day

Chorus

Here I am a Hobo here I am a Hobo

Guitar on my shoulder just to sing you a tune

I sing in the rain and I sing in the sun

I have to make some money as I’m always on the run

I’m a Hobo, I’m a runnin’, and I always take the train

It keeps me warm and dry gets me out of the rain

It takes me where I want to go, goin’ east or west

I know I’m headed somewhere just not sure where it is

Chorus

Here I am a Hobo here I am a Hobo

Guitar on my shoulder just to sing you a tune

I sing in the rain and I sing in the sun

I have to make some money as I’m always on the run

I’m penniless but work real hard forever have to roam

I’m always on the go, as I don’t have a home

I go from place to place and I try to settle down

I travel through the country, just goin’ from town to town

Chorus

Here I am a Hobo here I am a Hobo

Guitar on my shoulder just to sing you a tune

I sing in the rain and I sing in the sun

I have to make some money as I’m always on the run

They call me Hobo Jo as I jump from train to train

I want to get to somewhere regardless of terrain

I’m tired and I’m weary as I go from day to day

I cannot face the world no more that’s why I run away

Chorus

Here I am a Hobo here I am a Hobo

Guitar on my shoulder just to sing you a tune

I sing in the rain and I sing in the sun

I have to make some money as I’m always on the run(X2)
