Well, here I am, a hobo
With my hobo's pots and pans
In an Alberta rail yard
With my red-faced hobo friends
Here comes a train
Eastbound for Nova Scotia shore
It's my last ride, my friends
Ain't gonna hobo no more
So long, BC Benny
You have been a real good friend
And goodbye, Boxcar Willie
I guess I won't see you again
Here comes a train
Homebound for Nova Scotia shore
It's my last ride, my friends
Ain't gonna hobo no more
No one loves a hobo
And I need some love
Yes, I'm always so hungry
And I never get enough
And no one wants a hobo
Hanging around their door
It's my last ride, my friends
Ain't gonna hobo no more
There's a man in Halifax
That will give this bum a job
I'll use the money
To find a woman I can love
Here comes a train
Eastbound for Nova Scotia shore
It's my last ride, my friends
Ain't gonna hobo no more
No one loves a hobo
And I need some love
Lord, I'm always so hungry
And I never get enough
And no one wants a hobo
Hanging around their doors
It's my last ride, my friends
Ain't gonna hobo no more
It's my last ride, my friends
Ain't gonna hobo no more
