Testo di Western Hobo

A wild and reckless hobo Who left his happy home Started upon a western trip All by himself alone Upon this western trip We're going to have lots of fun But upon this western trip This is the song he sung I stepped up on the platform Smoking a cheap cigar Waiting to catch a freight train To catch an empty car I buttoned my coat up closely Walked off down the track I caught the steps of a sleeper car I never did look back They put me off at Danville Got stuck on a Danville girl You bet your life, she's out of sight She wore those Danville curls She wore her hat on the back of her head Like high-toned people do If the western train pulls through this town I'll bid that girl adieu My pocketbook is empty My heart is filled with pain 10,000 miles away from home Hoboing an old freight train
