The first thought I was whole born hoboin' boy

You know I took a freight train

I took a freight train to be my friend

A freight to be my only friend

Shown her when I took a freight train to be my friend

I went away I went away I went away in the wind

Now I'm well grown man

And I remember when

I remember when my mamma followed me down railroad yard

And I watched I watched my one

My one my one and only son

I believe he's a goner a believer

Somewhere in hoboin'

Somewhere in hoboin'

The first time I was in hoboin'

My hoboin' day

I thought I had so so much

I thought I had so many ways to go

And now that I went away

I am away baby away and away

I thought I had so much

So many ways to go

So many ways

Just fine a years lady

I know if it wasn't for my good friend

My good look and my guitar

I wouldn't be more than a hoboin' man

Hoboin' man

I'm OK hoboin' man
