Hobo Blues [German translation]

When I first thought to hobo'in, hobo'in,

I took a freight train to be my friend, oh Lord

You know I hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo'd

Hobo'd a long, long way from home, oh yeah

Yes I did...a long time ago

I left home that mornin'

My mother followed me down to the freight train yard

She said my son he's gone,

Take care of my child

Lord knows he's travelin'

You know he travelin' through the land

You know he travelin'

You know he travelin' through the land

Next time I start to hobo'in

I'm gonna have my baby by my side

And then you know my nights

Ain't gonna be so lonely

And my days won't be so blue
