"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)
