Don't know where I'm going Don't know where I came from Just can't seem to find a home Can't seem to settle down The life of a Hobo is no fun I'm just a Hobo on the run One day of sweating backache One day of freezing rain One year of breaking hard rock Six months jumping rail The life of a Hobo is no fun I'm just a Hobo on the run What can I do, what can I say Don't even trust the length of the day Only the witness of Southern Jim
