Hobo

Lyrics

There ain't no work round this town Stealing ain't my scene Reckon I'll move on, don't do wrong Don't let my face be seen So now I'm a hobo and I go Just where the train and wind blows I dipped into Boston, down in Houston My conscience was so mean It told me to move on, don't do wrong Don't let my face be seen So now I'm a hobo and I go Just where the train and wind blows Listen to me, conscience Just who you trying to save? If you get your way too much You're gonna send me, send me to my grave If I'm gonna stay alive Then you know I've gotta eat If I can't steal the food I'm gonna die, die out in the street, yeah I went to Savannah, Alabama But no work could I find I was so hungry that it broke me Praying by a shrine So now I'm a hobo and I go Just where the train and wind blows Listen to me, conscience Just who you trying to save? If you get your way too much You're gonna send me, oh send me to my grave, yeah I prayed for a long time at this old shrine And when I opened my eyes I saw the River Jordan Running deep and wide So now I'm a hobo and I go Just where the train and wind blows
