HANK AND THE HOBO 
Writen and recorded by Boxcar Willie 
 
C Well, Willie he C7 carried his F guitar on his C back 
As he hopped aboard a freight G7 train 
And C somewhere C7 in the F cold cold C dawn 
Songs of G7 Hank he would C sing. 
 
Then Willie would sing your Cheatin' Heart 
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry 
And when he sang You Win Again 
Not a Hobo would have a dry eye. 
 
They say old Willie knew every song 
That dear old Hank ever wrote 
He'd sing them all, word for word 
And he'd play them, note for note. 
 
Willie would sing your Cold Cold Heart 
By the hobo campfire each night 
And sometimes Willie, to me, would sing 
Praise God I Saw The Light. 
 
Well, Willie was known on every line 
They say he rode every train 
His music was a legend among the hobo's 
And the songs of G7 Hank..that..he..{F} sang..{C}.
