Railroad Bum recorded by Jim Reeves written byJ.A. Balthrop C
G7 I used to be a railroad bum a living on the go
C I rode freights from Canada down to Mexico
G7 From sunny Cal to Minnesota where the rippling waters falls
C I never seemed to have a dime but I had myself a ball
G7 Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be
C A railroad bum but I'm not anymore
G7 I walked in the Silver Dollar in Reno one night
C Dropped a quarter in a one armed bandit the lemons lined up right
G7 Took my winnings then played poker and I won ten thousand more
C I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore
G7 Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be
C A railroad bum but I'm not anymore
G7 When cotton's white in Tennessee and shrimp boats sail in Maine
C Peach picking time soon will find me riding a Georgia train
G7 Cause I get restless when I'm still I guess I always will
C Want to keep traveling all my life over another hill
G7 Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be
C A railroad bum but I'm not anymore
G7 Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be
C A railroad bum but I'm not anymore
