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
|
||
|
|
||
|
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
|
||
|
|
||
|
{start_of_chorus}
|
||
|
Now he's the [A]last hobo
|
||
|
Riding the [D]last boxcar
|
||
|
On the [A]last freight train
|
||
|
Leaving [D]here
|
||
|
{repeat: 2}
|
||

{end_of_chorus}

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
|
||
|
|
||
|
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
|
||
|
|
||
|
{start_of_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_of_bridge}
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
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
|
||
|
|
||
|
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
|
