trains, dey keep o´ rollin´ hobo´s life´s ´em steam lonely nights are cold and no one else to lean people keep on moanin´ nothing´s there to strive they got more than others tell me, what´s the better life? search hell for a dollar! spent it for booze! who can have a better life than a hobo, got the blues? he found it in the garbage rotten peace of wood thrown away by rich kids of dat strange neighborhood look into the mirror golden necklace earrings, silver wristwatch but where is your face | Refrain | sell ya rings and brooches let your mind be fair explode into a new life get back to what u were | Refrain |
