Boxcar Willie - The Lord Made a Hobo Out of Me lyrics

Well, the Lord made a hobo out of me He took my soul and then he set it free I travel 'round and 'round, and I sing in every town Yeah, the Lord made a hobo out of me Well, the Lord gave me a big black train A home in the sunshine and rain I live a life of ease, and I do just what I please Yeah, the Lord made a hobo out of me Well, I said I'd settle down and go to work But a-diggin' ditches makes my back hurt I put that shovel down; well, I caught the southern bound Yeah, the Lord made a hobo out of me Hey, the Lord made a hobo out of me He took my soul and then he set it free I travel 'round and 'round, and I sing in every town Yeah, the Lord made a hobo out of me Well, I thought that I would try married life So I married me a great big ol' wife I couldn't take the strain, yes caught the freedom train Yeah, the Lord made a hobo out of me Hey, the Lord made a hobo out of me He took my soul and then he set it free I travel 'round and around, and I sing in every town Yeah, the Lord made a hobo out of me Yeah, the Lord made a hobo out of me
