I couldn't help him, anyone else? "Please tell me where, have all the hobo's gone to? I see no fire burnin' by the rusty railroad track. Could it be, that time has gone and left them, tied up in life's eternal, travellin', sack."

WHERE HAVE ALL THE HOBOES GONE
The silver rails have lost their shine they're just the victims of our time
I love to hear a whistle whine just ride a boxcar one more time |

1. There was a time when lonely men would wander
2. Down through the years, many men have yearned for freedom.
3. Please tell me: where have all the hobos gone to?
4. [SPOKEN] Last Sunday night I wrote a letter to my loved one. REPEAT 3 Tied up in life's eternal traveling sack? |
