'Gonna leave my baby this mo'nin'

Lordy said that I would be hobo

Lord I hobo a long long way from home

Lordy said that I would be hobo

You know I hobo a long long way from home

You know ev'rytime I get a thinkin' about my baby

Man I couldn't do nothin'

But hang my head an moan

Baby an ev'rytime I decide to hobo

I take the jungle to be my home

Ev'rytime I would 'cide to hobo

Lord take the jungle to be my home

Now you know I'm 'on do just like a Prod'gal Son

I'm goin' back home an' acknowlege I done wrong

'I don't need you no mo' baby'

That mo'nin 'bout half past fo'

Lord that ol' freight train begin to reel an rock

Dawn that mo'nin 'bout half past fo'

Man that ol freight train begin to reel an rock

'Lord have mercy'

'Oh how it hurted in my head'

You know I went to the door I looked out

'Sonny I didn't know what this all about'

'Now boy let's tell ya'

'Take it on down there for me'

Boy the dark cloud risin' in the east

S B 'Oh yeah glad ya stay here a little while you know'

'Yes my Lord listen Sonny'

Lord the lightnin' it was flashin'

A dark cloud was risin' in the east

'You know I don't feel good '

'Lord what in the world's gon' become a me '

Go on just a happy as I can be

Girl I'm back home with my baby

But the next time I decide to hobo
