When I ... first started to hoboin’, hoboin’, hoboin’
I took a freight train to … be my friend, oh yes
Mmmm
Well now I hobo’d, I hobo’d
Hobo’d a great long, way from home, oh yes
Mmmm
Yes you know my mother she followed me that morning,me that morning
She followed me down to the yard, oh yes
Mmmm
She said: "My son he’ s gone, Lord, my son he’s gone
Yes,he’s gone in the world somewhere, oh yes “
Mmmm
Well ,I know, my dear old mother,my dear old mother
Yes she was on her knees a’crying, oh yes
Mmmm
She said: "My son he’ s gone, Lord, my son he’s gone
Yes,he’s gone in the world somewhere, oh yes “
