Intro:
C F C
There was a Ctime, when Flonely men would Cwander;
Through this Fland, rolling endlessly Calong.
So many Ctimes, I've Fheard of their sad Cstories;
CWritten in the Fwords of dead men's Csongs.
Down through the Cyears, many Fmen have yearned for Cfreedom.
Some Ffound it only on the open Croad.
So many Ctears of Fblood have filled aCround them;
'Cause you can't alway Fdo what you are Ctold.
Chorus:
Please tell me Cwhere, have Fall the hobos Cgone to.
I sFee no light burning down by the Crusty railroad Ftracks.
Could it Cbe, that Ftime has gone and Cleft them,
Tied up in life's eFternal travelling Csack.
(Repeat Intro)
Last CSunday night, I Fwrote a letter to my Cloved one.
I signed my Fname and knew I'd stayed away Ctoo long.
There was a Ctime when my Fheart was free to Cwander.
And I remember as FI sing this hobo Csong.
(Repeat Chorus)
