Hobo In My Mind (Live At the Marquee Club, London) - Tom Paxton

Up on Smoky mountain

Drinking from a soda fountain

That's where I was when I was

A hobo in my mind

Hoppin' freights and pickin' dates

Gobblin' beans from old tin plates

It seems like years since I was just

A hobo in my mind

It did no harm it set my mind

To dreamin' of a way

To get my hands on something

That I had to find someday

Far beyond Chicago

Somewhere where the longest trains go

That's where I was when I was

A hobo in my mind

Me and a couple of buddies

We didn't care if our shoes got muddy

We didn't care where the trains were bound

Wed ride them rascals blind

Oh maybe I was crazy

Maybe just my foolish ways

But that's where I was when I was

A hobo in my mind

It did no harm it set my mind

To dreamin' of a way

To get my hands on something

That I had to find someday

Far beyond Chicago

Somewhere where the longest trains go

That's where I was when I was

A hobo in my mind

Far beyond Chicago

Somewhere where the longest trains go

That's where I was when I was

A hobo in my mind
