Lyrics for Last Hobo by JOHN DENVER:
| | | Artist: | JOHN DENVER |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Last Hobo | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 187 | | | | Lyrics: | (Allen)
He was born in International Falls a long, long time ago.
Moved to Tucumcari when
the ironwork got slow.
He was cornbread and hard scrabble and scratching for every
dime,
'til he threw it in and he hit the road to walk that endless line.
Now he's the
last hobo riding the last boxcar on the last freight train leaving here.
Now he's the last hobo
riding the last boxcar on the last freight train leaving here.
He tried his hands at lots
of jobs and he did them all with pride.
From shoeing mules to driving trucks, he mastered what
he tried.
It must have been Ramona, she was all he cared about.
When she ran away and left
him, you could see the fire go out.
Now he's the last hobo riding the last boxcar on the
last freight train leaving here.
Now he's the last hobo riding the last boxcar on the last
freight train leaving here.
We hardly ever see him, once or twice and he would stay a day
or two.
He'd ask about Ramona, then he'd say that he was only passing through.
Now he
knows every railroad bull along the right of way,
and every hobo jungle from New York to Santa
Fe.
He's looked for his Ramona on the far side of the hill,
now his sun is sinking lower and
he's looking for her still.
Still he's the last hobo riding the last boxcar on the last
freight train leaving here.
Now he's the last hobo riding the last boxcar on the last freight
train leaving here. | | | |
