The Hobo

歌詞

You might find me in most any railroad depot But not standing where the paying people are I'll be busy making reservations For a first class ticket on a cabin car But you'll never find this hobo in an airport 'Cause I ain't found out how to hitch a plane But if you want to see a master working Just stand back and watch this hobo catch a train You might find me dining late some evening But not in a cafe with a fancy name And I won't be eatin' steak from Kansas City But a can of beans cooked on an open flame But you'll never find this hobo in an airport 'Cause I ain't found out how to hitch a plane But if you want to see a master working Just stand back and watch this hobo catch a train Once a year I gather with my brothers Praying for the good of all mankind And if you listen close you'll hear me singing Those Salvation Army songs at Christmas time Shall we gather at the river But you'll never find this hobo in an airport 'Cause I ain't found out how to hitch a plane But if you want to see a master working Just stand back and watch this hobo catch a train
