\begin{verse}
He was \[D]born in International Falls
A \[G]long, long time ago
He \[A]moved to Tucumcari
When the \[G]ironwork got \[D]slow
\end{verse}
\begin{repeatedchords}
\begin{verse*}
He was \[D]cornbread and hard scrabble
And \[G]scratching for every dime
'til he \[A]threw it in and he hit the road
To \[G]walk that endless \[D]line
\end{verse*}
\end{repeatedchords}
\begin{chorus}
Now he's the \[A]last hobo
Riding the \[D]last boxcar
On the \[A]last freight train
Leaving \[D]here
\rep{2}
\end{chorus}
\begin{repeatedchords}
\begin{verse}
He \[D]tried his hands at lots of jobs
And he \[G]did them all with pride
From \[A]shoeing mules to driving trucks
He \[G]mastered what he \[D]tried
\end{verse}
\begin{verse*}
It \[D]must have been Ramona
She was \[G]all he cared about
When she \[A]ran away and left him
You could \[G]see the fire go \[D]out
\end{verse*}
\end{repeatedchords}
\begin{bridge}
We \[G]hardly ever see him
Once or twice and he would stay a day or \[D]two
He'd \[G]ask about Ramona
Then he'd say that he was only passing \[A]through
\end{bridge}
\begin{repeatedchords}
\begin{verse}
Now \[D]he knows every railroad bull
A\[G]long the right of way
And \[A]every hobo jungle
From \[G]New York to Santa \[D]Fe
\end{verse}
\begin{verse*}
He's \[D]looked for his Ramona
On the \[G]far side of the hill
Now his \[A]sun is sinking lower
And he's \[G]looking for her \[D]still
\end{verse*}
\end{repeatedchords}
