John Denver - Last Hobo Lyrics
This song was first released on the all aboard! album. it is the only album it has been released on.He was born in international falls a long, long time agoMoved to tucumcan when the ironwork got showHe was cornbread and hard scrabble and scratching for every dimetill he threw it in and he kilt the road to walk that endless lineNow hes the last hoboRiding the last boxcarOn the last freight trainLeaving hereNow hes the last hoboRiding the last boxcarOn the last freight trainAway from hereHe tried his hand at lots of jobs and he did em all with prideFrom shoeing mules to driving trucks, he mastered what he triedIt must have been ramona, she was all he cared aboutWhen she ran away and left him you could see the fire go outNow hes the last hoboRiding the last boxcarOn the last freight trainAway from hereWe hardly ever see himOnce or twice and he would stay a day or twoHed ask about ramonaThen hed say that he was only passing throughNow he knows every railroad bull along the right of wayAnd every hobo jungle from new york to santa feHes looked for his ramona on the far side of the hillNow his sun is sinking lower and hes looking for her stillNow hes the last hoboRiding the last boxcarOn the last freight trainLeaving from hereNow hes the last hoboRiding the last boxcarOn the last freight trainAway from hereWords and music by george allen
