The Lord Made A Hobo Out Of Me
Written and recorded by Boxcar Willie

C
Well the Lord made a hobo out of me
                                   G7
He took my soul and then He set it free
C                                F
I travel around and around and I sing in every town
         C           G7          C
Yeah the Lord made a hobo out of me


Well the Lord gave me a big black train
                           G7
A home in the sunshine and rain
C                           F
I live a life of ease and I do just what I please
         C           G7          C
Yeah the Lord made a hobo out of me


Well I said I'd settle down and go to work
                                  G7
But digging ditches makes my back hurt
C                               F
Well I put that shovel down and caught that southern bound
         C           G7          C
Yeah the Lord made a hobo out of me

Repeat #1  Hey the ...   


Well I thought that I would try married life
                                G7
So I married me a great big ole wife 
C                               F
I couldn't take the strain so I caught the freedom train
         C           G7          C
Yeah the Lord made a hobo out of me

Repeat #1   Hey the ...  

                     G7          C
Yeah the Lord made a hobo out of me
