G I jumped off a boxcar down around Tennessee I was cold tired and dirty hungry as I could be C But I had my guitar and a hundred railroad songs G So I asked the policeman Can I stay here long A C He said Mr. Hobo you got to go now D We don't want you around C See I'm trying to build a respectable town G And we don't need a hobo like you around So I left that town, Lord with my guitar in my hand Still cold and tired, kinda mad at the man But this life that I chose to live, sometime's strange See I'm trying to learn about the old music from riding the train I'm a hobo I know, but that's the price I pay Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way Catch me another train and this is what I'll say Mr. Choo-choo train take me away I'm going to ride this train Lord until I find out What Jimmie Rogers and the Hag was all about See I play this rock n roll and I think that's fine But I want to go back a little further in time I'm a hobo I know but that's the price I pay Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way Catch me another train and this is what I'll say Mr. Choo-choo train take me away | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
