Lyrics

My my my, listen to that rhythm train, boys
Boy, I bet all them hobos all sit under them rods
Old A-number one and all them cats
All aboard for Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, oh all the burgs
Yeah, oh
Mmm, yeah
Oh, sing it
Oh, yeah
Now hobo, oh hobo
Hobo, you can't ride this train
Now boy, I'm the brakesman and I'm a tough man
But I ain't lookin', ha ha ha, yeah
Now hobo, listen here hobo
Mmm, you can't ride this train
There's some of the hobos blowing there, brother Hall
Now hobo, hobo
Hobo, you can't ride this train
Here's another hobo, brother Young
Ahh, looka here boy
You ain't so bad after all
Guess I let you ride, ha ha ha ha
Shhh
