D The Hobo (Traditional, as by Doc & Merle Watson 19??)
Intro: D G Bm
G A D Bm Em A D
D G D
I went down to the depot, and as I walked along
D E7 A7
I could hear a hobo... singin’ a little song
D G D
I stopped to listen for awhile, and before I moved ahead
D A
I heard his little story, and I’ll tell you what he said
Standing on a platform, smokin’ a cheap cigar
I’s a waitin’ for a freight train, gonna catch me an empty car
My pocketbook was empty, and my heart was full of pain
A thousand miles away from home, waitin’ for a train
I pulled my cap down over my eyes, and I walked off down the street
At a back door I says kind miss, “Would ya give me a bite to eat?”
She smiled at me so gently, and with a little grin
She said, “Sir, if a feed ya now you’ll only come again.”
D G Bm
G A D Bm Em A D
Oh kind miss, I’m hungry, don’t talk to me so rough
You’d think I was a hobo just because I look so tough
She fed me in her kitchen... on bread and meat so fine
She put me in the notion fors a bummin’ all the time
She put her arms around me then, said “I love you as a friend”
I hope you’ll soon be home sir, that your bad luck will end
I didn’t know just what to say, she treated me so kind
So I just turned and walked away with rambling on my mind
D G Bm
G A D Bm Em A D
I caught a freight to Danville, got stuck on a Danville girl
I tell you boys she’s out of sight, she wore that Danville curl
He hair up on the back of her head... like high boned ladies do
She told me that she loved me so, and I know that it was true
For a little while I stayed around, I thought I’d settle down
vvv
Til’ one day the high ball hop a freight... made me leave that town
I didn’t even say goodbye, just walked on down the track
I jumped aboard an eastbound freight and I never did look back
Standing on this platform, smokin’ a cheap cigar
A waitin’ for a freight train, gonna catch me an empty car
My pocketbook was empty, and my heart was full of pain
I’m a thousand miles away from home, awaitin’ for a train
