[VERSE]
[C]Riding on an [F]eastbound [C]freight train.... [F]Speeding through the [C]night
[F]Hobo Bill, the [C]railroad bum.... was [D7]fighting for his [G]life
And the [C]sadness [F]of his [C]eyes revealed... the [F]torture of his [C]soul
He [F]raised a weak and [C]weary hand... to [G]brush away the [C]cold

[VERSE]
No [C]warm lights [F]flickered [C]around him...no [F]blankets there to [C]fold
[F]Nothing but the [C]howling wind ...and the [D7]driving rain so [G]cold
[C]When he [F]heard a [C]whistle blowing...in a [F]dreamy kind of [C]way
The [F]hobo seemed [C]contented for...he [G]smiled there where he [C]lay
[C]A..Ho -oh oh [G]bo-oh-oh [C]Bill

[VERSE]
[C]Outside the [F]rain was [C]falling...on that [F]lonely boxcar [C]door
But the [F]little form of [C]Hobo Bill...lay [D7]still upon the [G]floor
While the [C]train sped [F]through the [C]darkness...and the [F]raging storm [C]outside
[F]No one knew that [C]Hobo Bill was [G]taking his last [C]ride
[C]A..Ho -oh oh [G]bo-oh-oh [C]Bill

It was [C]early [F]in the [C]morning when they [F]raised the hobo's [C]head
The [F]smile still lingered [C]on his face, but [D7]Hobo Bill was [G]dead
There [C]was no [F]mother's [C]longing to [F]soothe his weary [C]soul
For [F]he was just a [C]railroad bum who [G]died out in the [C]cold

[C]A..Ho -oh oh [G]bo-oh-oh [C]Bill
