Box Car Willie Hank And The Hobo Lyrics

Hank And The Hobo Lyrics

Well, Willie, he carried his guitar on his back

As he hopped aboard a freight train

And somewhere in the cold cold [Incomprehensible]

Songs of Hank he would sing



Then Willie would sing 'Your Cheatin' Heart'

'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'

And when he'd sing 'You Win Again'

Not a hobo would have a dry eye



They say old Willie knew every song

That dear old Hank ever wrote

He'd sing them all word for word

And he'd play them note for note



Willie would sing 'Your Cold Cold Heart'

By the hobo campfire each night

And sometimes Willie to me would sing

'Praise God I Saw The Light'



Well, Willie was known on every line

They say he rode every train

His music was a legend among the hobos

And the songs of Hank that he sang
