Lyrics Hobo Blues - Cuby & The Blizzards

Hobo Blues

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
