Flatt & Scruggs - Bummin' an Old Freight Train lyrics

I was a wild and reckless hobo left my girl and home Started out on a western trip all by myself alone My pocketbook was empty my heart was filled with pain Thousand miles away from home just a bummin' an old freight train Just a bummin' an old freight train oh Lord bummin' an old freight train Thousand miles away from home just a bummin' an old freight train I was standing on the platform smoking a cheap cigar Waiting for an old feeight train to catch an empty car My pocketbook was empty... I pulled my cab down over my eyes I walked up to the track I caught disturb of a sleeping car and never did look back My pocketbook was empty...
