Hobo's Lament
Recorded by Boxcar Willie
Written by Elsie McWilliams

C F
I just wanted to roam so I left a good home
C G7
A hobo's life sure was calling me
C F
So I caught an old box car and then I traveled far
C G7 C
And I called that good life of the dreams

F C
Yes I've been lots of places and I've seen lots of faces
G7 C
But the best things in life have passed me by
F C
Now I know I've been wrong and I'm longing for a home
G7 C
And I hope that I find one before I die

F
Well I thought it would be fun just to ride on my thumb
C G7
Or to steal away on some old freight train
C F
But I didn't count the cost of the good things I lost
C G7 C
And I didn't count the hunger and the pain

F C
Yes I've been lots of places and I've seen lots of faces
G7 C
But the best things in life have passed me by
F C
Now I know I've been wrong and I'm longing for a home
G7 C
And I hope that I find one before I die
