Hobo’s Meditation
By Merle Haggard written by Jimmie Rodgers [3/4 time]
C G7 C
Tonight as I lay on a boxcar
F C
Just waiting for a train to pass by
F C
What will become of the hobo
D7 G7
Whenever that time comes to die
C G7 C
Has the Master up yonder in heaven
F C
Got a place that we might call our home
F C
Will we have to work for a living
D7 G7 C
Or can we continue to roam
G7 C
Will there be any freight trains in heaven
F C
Any boxcars in which we might hide
F C
Will there be any tough cops and brakemen
D7 G7
Will they tell us we cannot ride
C G7 C
Will the hobo chum with the rich man
F E7
Will we always have money to spare
F C
Will they have respect for a hobo
G7 C
In the land that lies hidden up there
Repeat #3 & 4
