Railroad looks so pretty
Boxcars on the track
Yonder stands two hoboes
Their rucksack on their back
And it's oh, babe, no home, babe
When you ride the railroad
It's hard to heed [or "keep"?] the law
Rode all the way from New Orleans
Trouble's all they saw
And it's oh, babe, no home, babe
Worked on a Georgia road crew
Ninety days in the county jail
Broke away 'bout the break o' day
Trouble bound to find their trail
And it's oh, babe, no home, babe
Clothes all torn and ragged
No one knows their name
Must have traveled through a thousand towns
When you're broke, they all look the same
And it's oh, babe, no home, babe
Oh, babe, no home, babe
Boxcars on the track
Yonder stands two hoboes
Their rucksack on their back
And it's oh, babe, no home, babe
When you ride the railroad
It's hard to heed [or "keep"?] the law
Rode all the way from New Orleans
Trouble's all they saw
And it's oh, babe, no home, babe
Worked on a Georgia road crew
Ninety days in the county jail
Broke away 'bout the break o' day
Trouble bound to find their trail
And it's oh, babe, no home, babe
Clothes all torn and ragged
No one knows their name
Must have traveled through a thousand towns
When you're broke, they all look the same
And it's oh, babe, no home, babe
Oh, babe, no home, babe
