I have Hobo's Melody on 'Shine a Light' - Field Recordings from the Great American Railroad - sung by Billy Bragg & Joe Henry. It was recorded in Amtrak Station, Alpine*, Texas. (The songs are mostly recorded in Railway Stations.)

The notes say: It was written and recorded in 1934 by Goebel Reeves, "The Texas Drifter", who specialised in hobo-philosophical recitations and cowboy ballads.

*Alpine was founded in 1882 on the route of the Southern Pacific, completed in 1883. The current Alpine station was built in 1946 in 'Spanish Mission Revival' style. So it should have good acoustics.
