Railroad Bum |
| I used to be a railroad bum a living on the go |
| I rode freights from Canada down to Mexico |
| From sunny Cal to Minnesota where the rippling waters falls |
| I never seemed to have a dime but I had myself a ball |
| Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo |
| I used to be a railroad bum but I’m not anymore |
| I walked in the Silver Dollar in Reno one night |
| I Dropped a quarter in a one armed bandit |
| The lemons lined up right |
| Took my winnings then played poker |
| And I won ten thousand more |
| I used to be a railroad bum but I’m not anymore |
| Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo |
| I used to be a railroad bum but I’m not anymore |
| --- Instrumental --- |
| When cotton’s white in Tennessee |
| And shrimp boats sail in Maine |
| Peach picking time soon will find me ridin' a Georgia train |
| Couse I get restless when I’m still I guess I always will |
| Want to keep traveling all my life over another hill |
| Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo |
| I used to be a railroad bum but I’m not anymore |
| Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo |
| I used to be a railroad bum but I’m not anymore… |
