Dear Joe,

I'd like to know if you can possibly help me in completing vs. correcting my lyrics transcription to :

"Hobo Blues " as sung by RL Burnside - Album : First Recordings recorded by George Mitchell in 1969 - video uploaded by Fat Possum Recordings. 2:27


" When I first thought to hobo'in, to hobo'in,
I took a freight train to be my friend, oh yeah
Well I hobo'd, I hobo’d   a great long way from home, oh yeah
Yes, my mother she followed me that mornin', me that mornin', me that morning
Followed me down to the yard, oh yeah
She said my son he's goin’,Lord, he's goin’, he's goin’
Yes he’s goin’ he’s   where some where , oh yeah
Yes I left my dear old mother,my dear old mother,my dear old mother
She’s my honor, need a crime, oh Lord "          ( ? )


Looking forward to hear from you I remain
Yours faithfully.   
Thank you very much .

Gigi
