     E       A    E
There was a time when lonely men would wander
B   B7      E      B
Thru this land - rolling aimlessly along
       E       A    E    add4
So many times I've heard of their sad story
B EA E
Written in the words of dead men's songs

Down through the years many men have yearned for freedom
Some found it only on the open road
So many tears of blood have fell around us
Cause you can't always do what you are told

Please tell me where have all the hobos gone to?
I see no fire burning down by the rusty railroad track
Could it be that time has gone and left them
Tied up in life's eternal traveling sack

    (spoken)
Last sunday night I wrote a letter to my loved ones
I signed my name and knew I'd stayed away too long
There was a time when my heart was free to wander
And I remember as I sing this hobo song

    (all together)
Please tell me where have all the hobos gone to?
I see no fire burning down by the rusty railroad track
Could it be that time has gone and left them
Tied up in life's eternal traveling sack
     BE  A E
Tied up in life's eternal traveling sack...
