Hobo Blues Lyrics by Peg Leg Howell

Peg Leg Howell ‎Vol. 1 (1926-27)

1927

[Verse 1]
Set down on my jumper, iron my overall
I'm gonna ride that train you call the Cannonball
You can set down on my jumper, iron my overall
I'm gonna ride that train you call the Cannonball
[Verse 2]
Some says the Southern, believe it's W & A
I'm gonna get the first train I see going out that way
Oh, some say the Southern, I believe it's W & A
I'm gonna ride that first train I see going that way
[Spoken]
[?] boy
[?] blue
[Verse 3]
I woke up in the morning, half past four
A long tall woman standin' knockin' on my door
I woke up this morning, just about half past four
You oughta'av seen the gang of women, standin' knockin' on my door
[Verse 4]
Train left Cincinnati, going to New Orleans
Oughta seen the fireman, tearing up gasoline
Oh, the train left Cincinnati, goin' to New Orleans
Oughta seen that fireman, tearing up gasoline
[Outro]
([?] anytime now!)
