One Tuesday morning and it looked like rain
Around the curve come a passenger train.
On the fly said old Bill Jones
He’s a good old hobo and he’s tryin’ to get home.
He’s tryin’ to get home
He’s tryin’ to get home
He’s a good old hobo and he’s tryin’ to get home.

Way down in Georgy on a tramp
The roads are getting’ muddy and the leaves are getting’ damp
Gotta catch a freight train to leave this town
Cause they don’t allow no hobo’s a’ hangin’ around
Just a’ hangin’ around
Just a’ hangin’ around
They don’t allow no hobo’s a’ hangin’ around

I left Atlanta one morning ‘fore day
The brakeman said, “You have to pay”
I’ve got no money but I’ll pawn my shoes
I’ve gotta go west I’ve got the Milwaukee Blues
Got the Milwaukee Blues
Got the Milwaukee Blues
I’ve gotta go west I’ve got the Milwaukee Blues

Old Bill Jones said before he died,
“Let’s fix the roads so the ‘bos can ride.
When they ride they ride the rod
And put all their trust in the hands of god.”
In the hands of god
In the hands of god
And put all their trust in the hands of god.”

Old Bill Jones said before he died,
There’s two more roads he like to ride,
The fireman said,”What can it be?”
The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
The Santa Fe
The Santa Fe
The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
