Railroad looks so pretty
Box cars on the track.
Yonder came two hoboes
With a rucksack on their backs.
Chorus:
Well, it’s oh babe, no home babe.
Worked on the Georgia road gang
Ninety days in the county jail
Run away from that ball and chain
With the hounddogs on their tail. (chorus)
When you’re broke and hungry
It’s hard to keep the law.
Rode all the way from New Orleans
Back to Arkansas. (chorus)
Clothes all torn to pieces
Nobody knows their names
Guess they’ve travelled through a thousand towns.
And they all looked the same. (chorus)VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
