_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
He was born in International [A] Falls a long, long time ago.
[B] He moved to Tucumcari [A] when the ironwork got [E] slow. _
He was cornbread and hard scrap, [A] scratching for every dime.
[B] Till he threw it in and hit the road [A] to walk that endless [E] line.
_ Now he's the [B] last hobo, riding the [E] last boxcar,
on [B] the last freight train away from [E] here.
_ Now he's [B] the last hobo, riding [E] the last boxcar,
[B] on the last freight train away [E] from here.
He tried his hand at lots of jobs, [A] and he did them all right.
[B] From chewing mules to driving trucks, [A] he mastered what he [E] tried.
_ _ It must have been Ramona, she [A] was all cared about.
When she ran [B] away and left him, you could see the fire [E] go out.
Now he's [B] the last hobo, riding [E] the last boxcar,
[B] on the last freight train away [E] from here. _
[A] We hardly ever see him once or twice, and he would stay a day [E] or two. _ _ _ _ _
[A] He'd ask about Ramona, then he'd say that he was only passing through.
[B] _ _ _ _ _
[E] Now he knows every railroad bus along the right [A] of way, _
[B] every hobo jungle [A] from New York to [E] Santa Fe. _
_ He's looked for his Ramona [A] on the far side of the hill.
[B] Now the sun is sinking lower, [A] and he's looking for [E] her still.
Still [B] he's the last hobo, [E] riding the last boxcar,
[B] on the last freight train [E] leaving here.
_ [B] Now he's the last hobo, [E] riding the last boxcar,
[B] on the last freight train [E] away from here.
