Verse 1
G
Hobo Bill was a railroad bum,
C
G
he loved the silvery tracks.
C
G
He never knew when he'd be leavin',
D
G
he never cared if he got back.
A hobo was sittin' by the
railroad tracks,
D
C
one foot on an old cross -tire.
G
He didn't have much in particular to do,
C
G
just wait for a train to come by.
D
He just bummed a meal
G
from a house across the way,
where a pretty lady had
answered the door.
C
Cold chicken and biscuits
G
eased his hunger pains,
C
tomorrow he'd be bummin'
G
some more.
Dusk had fallen now,
D
and the lights were on,
G
and the little white house
crossed the way.
The voices of children
C
broke the quiet of the night.
G
C
The husband was home for the day.
G
For just a few moments,
Bill's thoughts traveled back
D
G
to a place he'd known as a lab.
He thought of how Mama had tucked him in.
C
G
He remembered a kind old dad.
The hobo Bill could reminisce
C
but when his soul was
G
stirred by the blues
C
G
He had to feel the wind blow in his face,
D
G
feel the cinders in his shoes
D
G
C
G
He pulled up a collar of a coat worn in thin
C
to escape the chill of the night
G
Took another look at the
C
little white house,
G
D
someone had turned out the lights.
G
Why did he choose a life like this,
in preference to one just
observed?
C
Somewhere in the distance
G
a freight train blew,
C
G
as if it had overheard.
She blew long and lonesome
as her headlight beams
cut through the night of black.
C
Bill looked again at the little white house,
G
then moved on down the track.
For hobo Bill was a railroad bum,
C
G
it was in his blood like wine.
C
G
He knew the cops and the whistle stops
D
G
on every lonesome railroad line.
