Around the time of the second world war A new kind of man came through the door "I ain't looking for food I'm looking for work Not afraid to sweat - digging in the dirt I ain't looking for a hand-out But I'm willing to lend a hand to the man that pays me Yes I am Mr. Roosevelt - he understands I'm a hobo kinda man I've been ridin' this train I've been up all night I'll be swinging that hoe before daylight When the next box car comes along I'll jump it and fight ya and call it my home When the money runs out, so do I I'll be ridin' these rails 'till times change and kill me Yes I will I never know where I am, hey - I'm a hobo kinda man That's what I am Those steel wheels-a-rollin' Somewhere I feel me towing, I know I can hear that whistle blowin' SongtexteCome tomorrow morning I'll be gone Yeah Oh! I'm a hobo kinda man I'm always leaving my wife and kids behind Workin' somewhere on down the line Every night I sleep in a different town I never know, honey, where I'm bound Livin' out of a suitcase I changed from a train to a silver eagle But I'm getting all I can I'm a modern day hobo kinda man These steel wheels-a-rollin' Somewhere I feel me towing I can hear that whistle blowin' Come tomorrow morning This old boy be gone Yeah I'm a hobo kinda man That's what I am I'm a hobo man A movin' on down the line A hobo man Yeah, that's what I am I'm a hobo man Aus Songtexte Mania
