[Bm] It's a [Dm] new number and [G] [D] it's [E] about a hobo on a train.
It's called a [Bm] railroad song.
[G]
A
[Am] [G]
[C] jumped [G] off a black Scott down around Tennessee.
I was cold and tired and dirty, hungry as I could be.
[C] But I had my guitar and a hundred railroad songs.
[G] So I asked a policeman, can I stay here long?
[F] He [A] said, Mr.
[G] Hobo, [C] you've got to go [D] now.
[Am] Don't want you [D] around.
[G] [C] See, I'm trying to build me a respectable town.
You don't need a hobo like you hanging [G] around.
Well, I left the town, Lord, I had my guitar in my hand.
Still cold and tired, got a man at the van.
[C] But this life I chose to live, sometimes strange.
[G] See, I'm trying to learn about the old [C] [G] music
from riding the train.
[A] [G] I'm a [C] hobo, I [D] know, [C] that's a fast [D] out there.
[G] [C] Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way.
I'm on Jump Me Eighth Grade train.
This is what I say.
[G] So, you to train, take me away.
Oh, I hear the train a [C] coming.

[Em] Why?
Well, [A] I'm a [G]
[C] hobo, I know, [D] and that's a [C] fast [D] out there.
[G] [C] Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way.
