Lyrics

Rolling railroad

Dressed in the west

Sprinting across the steel and ballast

 

Pounding of wheels

Clicking one's heels

Across the trailing meadow and grass

 

My Hobo Engagement is calling me

I belong to the earth and it’s where I’ll be

Tucking in my abandoned ways

To see another day, out on the railway

 The vagabond life is the one for me

Traveling the rail and traveling it free

I won’t miss a thing as long as I keep along

And sing the words of my vagabond song

 

Sweet scenery lulls

Vagabondage calls

Driftwood shoes longing to carry

 

The chink of the steel

Weakens the will

And the hobo can't be bound to tarry

 

My Hobo Engagement is calling me

I belong to the earth and it’s where I’ll be

Tucking in my abandoned ways

To see another day, out on the railway

 The vagabond life is the one for me

Traveling the rail and traveling it free

I won’t miss a thing as long as I keep along

And sing the words of my vagabond song

 

 

Away in the night

A free bird in flight

Hitching a ride to exemption

 

A borrowed cigar

A poker game car

A derelict that needs no redemption

 

My Hobo Engagement is calling me

I belong to the earth and it’s where I’ll be

Tucking in my abandoned ways

To see another day, out on the railway

 The vagabond life is the one for me

Traveling the rail and traveling it free

I won’t miss a thing as long as keep along

And sing the words of my vagabond song
