Contextual Analysis of "hobo" in Lyrics

morning time to thaw

hobo chang ba

among the windswept vagabonds steam train was the king

the last of the hobo kings

among the windswept vagabonds steam train was the king

the last of the hobo kings

as i was out walkin' on a corner one day

in a doorway he lay

i swore that i would sooner die than ever settle down

me and my hobo heart

tell me stories

stories of cold

just waiting for train to pass by

whenever his time comes to die. there's a master up yonder in heaven

that's where i was when i was

hoppin' freights and pickin' dates

that's where i was when i was

hoppin' freights and pickin' dates

i buried all my money in a coffee can

only got two pennies better rub them together

i buried all my money in a coffee can

only got two pennies better rub them together

until he threw it in and he hit the road to walk the endless line

ridin' the last boxcar

chevrolet is busy making cars;

you keep busy when they throw away

start

let the towns drift slowly by

start

let the towns drift slowly by

start

hoboing was an accepted form of travel for the migrant worker

start

hoboing was an accepted form of travel for the migrant worker

riding on the eastbound freight train speeding through the night

and the sadness of his eyes revealed the torture of his soul

riding on the eastbound freight train speeding through the night

and the sadness of his eyes revealed the torture of his soul

start

sure can't tie me down
