Railroad Song

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 me a respectable town

And we don't need a hobo like you hangin' around

So I left that town, Lord, had my guitar in my hand

Still cold and tired, kinda mad at the man

But this life that I chose to live, sometimes is strange

See I'm trying to learn about the old music from riding the train

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

I'm-a catch me another train and this is what I'll say

Mr. Choo-choo train, take me away

Choo-choo train

Well I'm-a ride this train Lord until I find out

What Jimmie Rodgers and the Hag was all about

See I, I play this rock n roll, I think that's fine

But I'd like 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

Choo-choo train
