Tonight as [G] I lay on [C] a _ boxcar, _ [F] just waiting for a [Gm] train to [C] pass by, _ _
_ [F] what will become of
[C] the hobo? _ _
_ [G] Whenever their time comes to [C] die, _ _ has a master of yonder in heaven _ [F] got a place
that we might [G] [C] call our home? _ _
[F] Will we have to wait [C] for our living _ or [G] can we _ continue [C] to roam? _ _
