Hobo's Meditation - Jimmie Rodgers

Tonight as I lay on a boxcar just waiting for a train to pass by What will become of the hobo whenever his time comes to die

Has the Master up yonder in heaven got a place that we might call our home

Will we have to work for a livin' or can we continue to roam

Will there be any freight trains in heaven any boxcars in which we might hide

Will there be any tough cops or brakemen will they tell us that we cannot ride

Will the hobo chum with the rich man will we always have money to spare

Will they have respect for a hobo in that land that lies hidden up there

Will there be any freight trains…
