Hobo Train

Today it began to rain
I jumped upon a rolling train
They call me Hobo Jack by name
I couldn′t cure the fever
Hurry up the engine lad
Hurry up the train I said
I feel lonely I feel sad
I couldn′t cure the fever

One more road I′d like to ride
Said the bum before he died
When the train rolls in the night
I couldn′t cure the fever
Wherever I lay down my head
Upon my bundle and my bag
I call my home until I′m dead
I couldn′t cure the fever

I rode the train from coast to coast
But in the mountains I like most
Been everywhere that is my boast
I couldn′t cure the fever
Been on busses been on planes
So to all I must explain
Nothing beats a railroad train
I couldn′t cure the fever

I′m waiting for a Hobo Train
It sends a message to my brain
I wanna ride the rails again
I couldn′t cure the fever
Now I′m grey and old and bent
Soon to heaven I′ll be send
On Peter′s train I′ll be content
They couldn′t cure the fever
