A long black engine keeps a rolling along its wheels goin' clickety-clack

She's carrying me to war that eastern seaboard Louisiana I ain't comin' back

And I see the world that she oughta be seen

Through a crack in the boxcar door

A hobo's life is a lonely life and I'm restless son of a gun

So I'll keep a riding these ribbons of steel and wait for my setting sun

And I sit all alone...
10
[ guitar ]
11
The engineer is pulling her down and I reckon we ain't going to stop

And I'll be a dodgin' the man with a stick I hear him a walkin' on top

And I sit all alone...

[ guitar ]
15
Most folks think I'm a crazy man at all of hoboes like me

But I let the bottle that holds all the world and I'll die happy and free

I'll take the last long look at ther world that I love

Through a crack in this boxcar door

I'll take the last long look at ther world that I love

Through a crack in this boxcar door
