Old Hobo Chords by Furry Lewis

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I was [Ebm] all around [Eb] _
the water tank _ [Ab] waiting for a [Ebm] train.
[Eb] _ A thousand miles away from home, I was [Bb] sleeping in the rain.
_ _ _ I walked up to [Eb] the bridge man _ for to [Ab] give him a line of talk.
[Eb] _ _
_ He said, for a river you got money.
I [Bb] see that you don't walk.
_ I [Eb] _ [Ebm] haven't got a [Eb] nickel, _ _ _ [Ab] not a penny _ can I [Ebm] show.
_ _ [Eb] _
_ _ They get off, get off you [Bb] railroad [Eb] bum, _ you just [Bb] slam that bus car [Eb] door. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Boy, they put me off in Texas, that's [Ab] the state I dearly [Eb] _ love.
Wide open space all around me, like [Bb] the moon and stars up above.
_ There's no one seems to [Eb] love me, not [Ab] let me help and [Eb] hang. _
Standing _ [Bb] around the frisco, I'm just waiting [Eb] for a train. _
_ For _ _ _ Lillie, _ oh _ _ Lillie. _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ I remember [Ebm] _
Lillie's winter _ [Ab] when the weather had got [Eb] cold.
_ _ Me and my _ _ darlin', we were old out of dough. _ _
She said, now first don't you worry, [Ab] cause we'll make it [Ebm] all [Eb] right.
_ All this trouble I had, just [Bb] wonder why we gonna stay [Eb] tonight.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh, all I got, _ 20 women.
_ _ [Ab] All I want's one [Eb]
more.
_ If the 20 more suit me, _ _ _ _ _ _ I'm gonna let them _ go.
Oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Lillie, oh _ _ _ _ Lillie.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Eb] You know one time, _ _ _ that the dying hobo, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ he got [Eb] this saying one time, passed by my house.
_ _ _ I told him the first verse he sang was, do that one more time, he told me what.
_ _ And I said, I was like your head, you hear what he said?
_ I was all [Ebm] around the water _ [Eb] tank, [Ab] I was waiting _ for a [Eb] train.
_ A thousand miles away from home, I [Bb] was sleeping in the rain.
_ _ When I [Ebm] walked up to the [Eb] bracement, _ [Ab] for the gimmel line of [Eb] talk.
_ _ Boy, if you got money, I [Bb] see that you don't walk.
_ _ _ I [Ebm] haven't got no _ _ nickels, [Ab] not a penny _ can I [Ebm] show.
_ _ Get off, get off you railroad bum, [Bb]
slam that [Eb] boss car door. _ _
Oh, _ Lillie, _ [Ebm] _
oh _ Lillie. _ _ _ _
