The Western Hobo

 

The [G]wild western hobo who [C]left his happy [G]home

Started upon a western trip all [D]by himself [G]alone

Upon this western trip [C]going to have lots of [G]fun

But upon this western trip this [D]is the song he [G]sung

+ G - C - G - D - G

   Yodel

 

I stepped up on a platform smoking a cheap cigar

Waiting to catch a freight train to catch an empty car

I buttoned my coat up closely and walked on down the track

I caught the steps of a sleeper car I never did look back

 

My pocket book is empty my heart is filled with pain

Ten thousand miles away from home hoboing and old freight train
