Generate meaning
1
Riding on an east bound freight train
2
Speeding through the night
3
Hobo Bill, a railroad bum
4
Was fighting for his life
5
The sadness of his eyes revealed
6
The torture of his soul
7
He raised a weak and weary hand
8
To brush away the cold.
9
Ho-ho-o, bo-o-o, bil-lie
10
No warm lights flickered around him
11
No blankets there to fold
12
Nothing but, the howling wind
13
And the driving rain so cold
14
When he heard a whistle blowing
15
In a dreamy kind of way
16
The hobo seemed contented for
17
He smiled there where he lay
18
Ho-ho-o, bo-o-o, bil-lie
19
Outside the rain was fallin'
20
On that lonesome boxcar door
21
But the little form of Hobo Bill
22
Lay still upon the floor
23
As the train sped through the darkness
24
And the raging storm outside
25
No one knew that Hobo Bill
26
Was taking his last ride
27
It was early in the mornin'
28
When they raised the hobo's head
29
The smile still lingered on his face
30
But Hobo Bill was dead
31
There was no mother's longin'
32
To soothe his weary soul
33
For he was just a railroad bum
34
Who died out in the cold
