The Western Hobo

The wild western hobo who left his happy home

Started upon a western trip all by himself alone

Upon this western trip going to have lots of fun

But upon this western trip this is the song he sung

   Yodel

I stepped up on a platform smoking a cheap cigar

Waiting to catch a freight train to catch an empty car

I buttoned my coat up closely and walked on down the track

I caught the steps of a sleeper car I never did look back

My pocket book is empty my heart is filled with pain

Ten thousand miles away from home hoboing and old freight train
