Hobo Bill's Last Ride |
Riding east-bound freight train, stealing through the night |
He was just a lonesome hobo who was fighting for his life |
The sadness in his eyes revealed the torture of his soul |
As he raised a weak and weary hand to brush away the cold |
Outside the rain is falling on that lonely boxcar door |
But the little frame of Hobo Bill lay still upon the floor |
As the train sped through the darkness and the raging storm outside |
No one knew that Hobo Bill was taking his last ride |
He was a lonesome hobo |
No warm lights flickered 'round him no blankets were there to fold |
There was nothing but the howling wind and the driving rain so cold |
As he heard a whistle blowing in a dreamy kind of way |
The hobo seemed contented for he smiled there where he lay |
It was early in the morning when they raised the hobo’s head |
The smile still lingered on his face, though Hobo Bill was dead |
There was no one there to weep for him or soothe his weary soul |
For he was just a hobo who had died out in the cold |
He was a lonesome hobo |
