A                              E7              A
Well here I am a hobo with my hobo's pots and pans
                                 E7              A
In an Alberta rail yard with my red faced hobo friends

Chorus:
                  D                E            A
Here comes a train east bound for Nova Scotia shore
D        A                 E7                     A
It's my last ride my friends ain't gonna hobo no more

So long BC Benning, you have been a real good friend
And goodbye Boxcar Willie, I guess I won't see you again

Chorus

No one loves a hobo and I need some love
Yes I'm always so hungry and I never get enough
And no one wants a hobo hanging round their doors

Chorus

There's a man in Halifax that will give this bum a job
I'll use the money to find a woman I can love
