[00:00.00]Western Hobo - The Carter Family
[00:21.17]The wild western hobo
[00:25.22]Who left his happy home
[00:30.34]Started upon a western trip
[00:34.82]All by himself alone
[00:39.52]Upon this western trip
[00:43.71]Going to have lots of fun
[00:48.38]But upon this western trip
[00:52.69]This is the song he sung
[00:56.84]Ay-oh-lay-ee-oh oh-lay-ee-ay
[01:01.97]Oh-lay-ee oh-lay-ee oh-lay-ee
[01:24.82]I stepped up on a platform
[01:29.70]Smoking a cheap cigar
[01:34.27]Waiting to catch a freight train
[01:38.57]To catch an empty car
[01:42.69]I buttoned my coat up closely
[01:47.59]Walked on down the track
[01:51.90]I caught the steps of a sleeper car
[01:56.54]I never did look back
[02:00.50]Ay-oh-lay-ee-oh oh-lay-ee-ay
[02:05.52]Oh-lay-ee oh-lay-ee oh-lay-ee
[02:27.74]My pocketbook is empty
[02:31.96]My heart is filled with pain
[02:36.74]Ten thousand miles away from home
[02:41.41]Hoboing an old freight train
[02:45.37]Ay-oh-lay-ee
[02:47.69]Ay-oh-lay-ee
[02:49.46]Oh-ah-lay-ee
