I used to be a railroad bum a living on the go

I rode freights from Canada down to Mexico

I never seemed to have a dime but I had myself a ball

Singing hi le hi lo, he li le li lo
6
I used to be a railroad bum
7
But I'm not anymore

I walked in the Silver Dollar in Reno one night
9
Dropped a quarter in a one armed bandit the lemons lined up right

Took my winnings then played poker and I won ten thousand more

I used to be a railroad bum

But I'm not anymore

Singing hi le hi lo, he li le li lo

I used to be a railroad bum

But I'm not anymore
16
When cotton's white in Tennessee and shrimp boats sail in Maine
17
Peach picking time soon will find me ridin' a Georgia train
18
'Cause I get restless when I'm still I guess I always will
19
Want to keep traveling all my life over another hill
