Ridin' The Rails
Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo
Hobo is my game
B & O's my middle name
I'm goin' where that whistle wails
And that's why I'm ridin' the rails
Hoboken, New York, PA
60 seconds is all I'll stay
Keeps me outta county jails
And that's why I'm ridin' the rails
Oh, leave Kentucky
Or the fields of Alabam'
Roomin' with a box of nails
Or peanuts and yams
Got no next of kin
And there's no one in my will
Only thing I'm scared of
Is standin' still
I'll ride 'til I'm dead
Boxcar's my only bed
That's home when all else fails
That's why I'm ridin' the rails
Brushfire Billy
And his buddies, Ned and Slim
Nine years back in provo
Was the last I saw of him
Brakeman, leave me be
Let this hobo rest his bones
Sleep will overtake me
When that diesel moans
That country's long and wide
The Santa Fe's my bride
I'll hop her when she sails
That's why I'm ridin' the rails
I'm ridin'
I'm slidin'
I won't last too long
Got a bandana and a whistle for a song
There ain't no wheels on the floor of a jail
That's why I'm ridin' the rails
Woo woo woo
That's why I'm ridin' the rails
woo woo woo
That's why I'm ridin' the rails
woo woo woo
That's why I'm ridin' the rails
Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo
Woo woo woooooooooooo
