I'M A HOBO (D. Reeves) DANNY REEVES (D 1206, 1961)
Got my pots and pans and I put 'em in a sack I started walkin' down that railroad track Borrowed me a nickel, a dime and a quarter Got me some of that drinking water I'm a hobo, call me Jay Jig-a-lag Joe I'm a happy hobo, always on the go
Used to own a hotel, way uptown Had me a chauffeur drivin' me around I got a-thinking how's that uncle supposed to die Ah-ah, baby-baby, bye-bye-bye I'm a hobo, call me Jay Jig-a-lag Joe I'm a happy hobo, always on the go
I hear that train a-coming down that railroad track Huffin' and a-puffin' up an aweful stack Mister conductor won't you kindly slow her down Hobo man, he's a-leavin' town I'm a hobo, call me Jay Jig-a-lag Joe I'm a happy hobo, always on the go
Well, I got me some things and some turnip greens And a-number seven shoes When I get on down this railroad track I'm gonna make me some hobo shoes I'm a hobo, call me Jay Jig-a-lag Joe I'm a happy hobo, always on the go-go-go Go-go-go
