Hobo Blues Songtext
von John Lee Hooker

When I first started hoboin′, hoboin', boy
I took a freight train to be my friend, oh Lord
Mmm

You know I hobo′d, hobo'd, hobo'd, hobo′d
Hobo′d a long, long way from home, oh Lord

Yeah, my mother, she followed me
That morning me that morning, that morning
She followed me down to the yard, oh yeah


She said my son, he's gone, he′s gone, he's gone, he′s gone
Yes, he's gone in the world somewhere, oh yeah
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Yet I left my dear old mother, dear old mother
I left her on her knees crying, oh Lord
Take care of my child
Take care ooh
Take care of my child
Mmm
Mmm
