Hobo Blues

Lonesome River Band

 

     E7                                                        A7                            E7

1. Got a hole in my pocket, I’ve done packed my ol’ knapsack

2. Well, some women try to hold me, but I keep on movin’ on

3. When I die, won’t you bury me in an old box car

 

                                           B7                          E7

1. I got a train to catch a mile on down the track

2. Well, my hat don’t hang nowhere for too long

3. With a coffee can and my old guitar

 

     E7                                                                        A7                       E7

1. Well, I’ve been hangin’ around this old town way too many days

2. Cause I’m caught up in the feeling of that same ol’ great train song

3. But make sure that I’m close enough to hear that passin’ train

 

                                         B7                    E7

1. I got to ramble on, I must be on my way

2. I got the Hobo Blues deep down in my bones

3. I got the freight train fever chuggin’ through my veins

 

<CHORUS>

                         A7

          I got the Hobo Blues……

                                                                                E7

          I gotta go, gotta go, God, I got the Hobo Blues

                                B7

          And when I hear that whistle blow, son

                                                                                           E7

          I gotta move, gotta move, God, I got the Hobo Blues
