Well the lord made a hobo out of me
He took my soul and then he set it free
I travel around and around and i sing in every town
Yeah the lord made a hobo out of me
Well the lord gave me a big black train
A home in the sunshine and rain
I live a life of ease and i do just what i please
Yeah the lord made a hobo out of me
Well i said i'd settle down and go to work
But digging ditches makes my back hurt
Well i put that shovel down and caught that southern bound
Yeah the lord made a hobo out of me
Well i thought that i would try married life
So i married me a great big ole wife
I couldn't take the strain so i caught the freedom train
Yeah the lord made a hobo out of me
Yeah the lord made a hobo out of me
