Hank And The Hobo
Written and recorded by Boxcar Willie [3/4 time]
 
C                          F             C
Well Willie he carried his guitar on his back 
                              G7
As he hopped aboard a freight train
    C                F         C
And somewhere in the cold cold dawn
         G7            C
Songs of Hank he would sing 
 
                       F             C
Then Willie would sing Your Cheating Heart 
                        G7
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry 
    C            F       C
And when he sang You Win Again 
                 G7         C
Not a Hobo would have a dry eye 
 
                    F          C
They say old Willie knew every song 
                        G7
That dear old Hank ever wrote 
     C             F        C
He'd sing them all word for word 
                   G7       C
And he'd play them note for note 
 
                       F         C
Willie would sing your Cold Cold Heart 
                          G7
By the hobo campfire each night 
    C                   F        C
And sometimes Willie to me would sing 
           G7        C
Praise God I Saw The Light 
 
                      F        C
Well Willie was known on every line 
                       G7
They say he rode every train 
    C                  F         C
His music was a legend among the hobo's 
                 G7           F   C
And the songs of Hank that he s-a-ng
