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

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

Yeah, my mother followed me
That morning, me that morning, 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
Mm...

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, oh
Take care of my child, mm
