Jimmie Rodgers
Sung by "The Trio"


THIS IS IN 3/3 TIME; 3 BEATS PER MEASURE

INTRODUCTION:  D - A - F#m - B7 - E
   A  E     A
Tonight as I lay on the boxcar
   D        A
Just waiting for a train to pass by
   D        A
What will become of the hobo
   B7       E
Whenever his turn comes to die
   A        E  A
There's a Master up yonder in Heaven
   D           D flat
Got a place that we might call our home
   D        A  F#m
Willl we have to work for a living
   B7 E     A
Or can we continue to roam
      A     D     A
Will there be any freight trains in Heaven
   D           A
Any boxcars in which we might hide
   D           A
Will there be any tough cops or brakemen
   B7          E
Will they tell us that we cannot ride
      A     E     A
Will the hobo chum with the rich man
   D           D flat
Will we always have money to spare
   D           A  F#m
Will they have respect for the hobo
   B7    E     A
In that land that lies hidden up there

INSTRUMENTAL:  A - E - A - D - A - D  - A - F#m - B7 - E - A
