[Verse]
Am
Hobo is my game
Dm         E      Am
B & O's my middle name
Am
I'm goin' where that whistle wails
    Dm             E          Am
And that's why I'm ridin' the rails
 
Am
Hoboken, New York, PA
Dm            E        Am
60 seconds is all I'll stay
Am
Keeps me outta county jails
    Dm             E          Am
And that's why I'm ridin' the rails
 
 
[Bridge]
Dm
Oh, leave Kentucky
       Am
Or the fields of Alabam'
D              Dm
Roomin' with a box of nails
  Am
Or peanuts and yams
Dm             G
Got no next of kin
            C
And there's no one in my will
B7
Only thing I'm scared of
   E7
Is standin' still
 
 
[Verse]
Am
I'll ride 'til I'm dead
Dm          E    Am
Boxcar's my only bed
Am
That's home when all else fails
Dm             E          Am
That's why I'm ridin' the rails
 
 
[Bridge]
Dm
Brushfire Billy
        Am
And his buddies, Ned and Slim
Dm
Nine years back in provo
        Am
Was the last I saw of him
Dm                 G
Brakeman, leave me be
         C
Let this hobo rest his bones
B7
Sleep will overtake me
          E7
When that diesel moans
 
 
[Verse]
Am
That country's long and wide
    Dm    E7      Am
The Santa Fe's my bride
Am
I'll hop her when she sails
Dm             E          Am
That's why I'm ridin' the rails
 
 
[Verse]
Dm
I'm ridin'
    Am
I'm slidin'
  E7         Am
I won't last too long
Dm        Am        E7            Am
Got a bandana and a whistle for a song
Dm              G7          C
There ain't no wheels on the floor of a jail
 
 
[Outro]
E7                         Am
That's why I'm ridin' the rails
Am
Woo woo woo
E7                         Am
That's why I'm ridin' the rails
Am
Woo woo woo
E7                         Am
That's why I'm ridin' the rails
Am
Woo woo woo
E7                         Am
That's why I'm ridin' the rails
Am
Woo woo woo
E7                         Am
Woo woo woo
Am
Woo woo woo
