The Hobo Song by Francis Estrella

Francis drops in on me from time to time as he crosses the nation. This time a bus brought him to Tulsa and not a freight train. Francis might be the last American hobo who road the rails for transportation between jobs and for the freedom and adventure it provided.

The Hobo Song – John Prine
There was a time
When lonely men would wander
Through this land
Rolling aimlessly along
So many times
I’ve heard of their sad story
Written in the words
Of dead men’s songs
Down through the years
Many men have yearned
For freedom
Some found it
Only on the open road
So many tears of blood
Have fell around us
‘Cause you can’t always do what you are told.
Please tell me where
Have all the hobos gone to
I see no fire burning down
By the rusty railroad track
Could it be that time
Has gone and left them
Tied up in life’s eternal traveling sack.
Last Sunday night
I wrote a letter
To my loved one
I signed my name
And knew I’d stayed away
Too long
There was a time
When my heart was free to wander
And I remember as I sing
This hobo song
