G7
I used to be a railroad bum a living on the go
C
I rode freights from Canada down to Mexico
G7
From sunny Cal to Minnesota where the rippling waters falls
C
I never seemed to have a dime but I had myself a ball
G7
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be
C
A railroad bum but I’m not anymore
G7
I walked in the Silver Dollar in Reno one night
C
Dropped a quarter in a one armed bandit the lemons lined up right
G7
Took my winnings then played poker and I won ten thousand more
C
I used to be a railroad bum but I’m not anymore
G7
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be
C
A railroad bum but I’m not anymore
G7
When cotton’s white in Tennessee and shrimp boats sail in Maine
C
Peach picking time soon will find me riding a Georgia train
G7
Cause I get restless when I’m still I guess I always will
C
Want to keep traveling all my life over another hill
G7
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be
C
A railroad bum but I’m not anymore
G7
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be
C
A railroad bum but I’m not anymore
