”Hobo” Words and Music by Marty Falle and Jonathan Holmberg (3:04) ISRC Code - TCAJZ2515686
Verse 1:
Think I'll be a hobo. I'll sing a hobo song
Full of pain and misery and the good times that are gone.
Memories of the life I left and how it all went wrong.
I think I'll be a hobo. I'll sing a hobo song
Verse 2:
I think I'll be a hobo.I'll live out on the tracks
Hopping on that L&N Up from Tennessee and back
Every mile's a memory, Every bridge another crack.
I think I'll be a hobo.With an old banjo and burlap sack.
Chorus
It's a hobo life for me. I'll be living fancy free
Sleeping in old box cars Hiding from police The rhythm of the rails makes me happy as can be
Hey! Hallelujah! It's a hobo life for me.
Bridge:
I have seen the sunrise over these Appalachian hills. I know all the Christian Homes
Where a man can get a meal. Running to the tracks when that train-a- whistle blows.
That's music to the ears of a hobo
Verse 3:
Think I'll be a hobo. Till the day I die.
I don't need no funeral. No widow there to cry.
Just throw my body off the train at that old Kentucky line.
I think I'll be a hobo until the day I die. I think I’ll be a Hobo
