lyrics

(New words by Jay Sewall & Michael Jerome Browne)

We be moanin’, moanin’
Sitting by the campfire light
We be moanin’, moanin’
That’ the hobo’s lullabye
(Chorus)

I came down here on a long freight train
Maybe you heard the whistle blow
When it slowed down, I jumped off
That’s the way of a hobo

Chorus

I don’t have a penny, I don’t have a dime
Just a few clothes in my sac
Oh hidden down below there is something that shines
I carry it all on my back

Chorus

I can’t remember the sound of my own name
Or even where I come from
Folks just call me Hobo Joe
I guess that means I’m a bum

Chorus
