I Jumped Off A Boxcar Down Around Tennessee
I Was Cold Tired And Dirty Hungry As I Could Be
But I Had My Guitar And A Hundred Railroad Songs
So I Asked The Policeman
Can I Stay Here Long
He Said Mr. Hobo You Got To Go Now
We Don't Want You Around
See I'm Trying To Build A Respectable Town
And We Don't Need A Hobo Like You Around

So I Left That Town, Lord With My Guitar In My Hand
Still Cold And Tired, Kinda Mad At The Man
But This Life That I Chose To Live, Sometime's Strange
See I'm Trying To Learn About The Old Music From Ridin' The Train
I'm A Hobo I Know, But Thta's The Price I Pay
Guess I'll Write Me Another Song While I'm On My Way
Catch Me Another Train And This Is What I'll Say
Mr Choo-choo Train Take Me Away

I'm Goin' To Ride This Train Lord Until I Find Out
What Jimmie Rogers And The Hag Was All About
See I Play This Rock N Roll And I Think That's Fine
But I Wnta To Go Back A Little Further In Time
I'm A Hobo I Know But That's The Price I Pay
Guess I'll Write Me Another Song While I'm On My Way
Catch Me Another Train And This Is What I'll Say
Mr Choo-choo Train Take Me Away
