The Western Hobo

             G                                         C                     G
    The wild and reckless hobo who left his happy home,
                                                     D                G
    started upon a western trip all by himself alone.
                                                    C                             G
    Upon this western trip we're going to have lots of fun,
                                                    D                       G
    but upon this western trip this is the song he sung.

         G                                       C                         G
    I stepped upon a platform smoking a cheap cigar,
                                                          D                      G
    waiting to catch a freight train to catch an empty car.
                                                             C                              G
    I buttoned my coat up closely and walked on down the track,
                                                                D                     G
    I caught the steps of a sleeper car, I never did look back.

            G                                       C                         G
    My pocket book is empty, my heart is filled with pain,
                                                                     D                             G
    ten thousand miles away from home hoboing an old freight train.
