Matt Andersen - Hobo Christmas Train lyrics

Hear the wheels, rolling down the track Smell the smoke, coming from the stack We turn our collars to the cold Always moving but we've got no place to go In a coffee tin, we start our fire Rubbing hands to keep them warm, up to the flame We sing a carol as the sun retires It's another Christmas Eve on the hobo train We don't need presents of diamond rings No candy boxes or pretty things We've got all the joy that the season brings It's another Christmas Eve on the hobo train We talk of times and things we've had Smiling for the good, laughing for the bad We never worry about where we are We're just happy safe and warm in our railway car There won't be stockings or a tree No bows and ribbons will you find Open the doors and you'll We're the happiest bunch of souls moving down the line Now don't you take pity on me I don't have it all, but there's more than you can see I've got my friends to ease my mind Believe me, we all know it's Christmas time We don't need presents of diamond rings No candy boxes or pretty things We've got all the joy that the season brings It's another Christmas Eve on the hobo train
