When I first started hoboin', hoboin'
I took a highway to be my friend, to be my friend
You know I hoboed, hoboed, hoboed
Hoboed a long way from home, away from home
You know my mother followed me that mornin', me that mornin', morn, morn
Followed me down to the crossroad, to the crossroad
Take care, my child, take care, my child, take care of my child
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Yeah, I hoboed, hoboed, hoboed, hoboed
Hoboed a long way from home, away from home, away from home
