    Verse 1
    With 
    stuffed 

    bandana 
    on 
    stick 

    He 
    travels 
    late 
    so 
    he 
    can 
    get 
    lost 
    quick 

    It's 
    all 
    he 
    needs 
    and 
    it's 
    all he 
    owns 

    Ain't 
    got 
    no 
    family, 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    home 

    They 
    call 
    the 
    troll 
    and 
    the 
    tramp 

    beggar 
    and 
    bum 

    gypsy 
    and 
    clown 

    But 
    he's 
    not 
    single 
    one 

    He's 
    lonesome 
    hobo 

    with 
    hole 
    in 
    his 
    shoe 

    Just 
    lonesome 
    hobo 
    and 

    he's 
    got 
    the 
    blues 

    With 
    that 
    bindle 
    sack, 
    he's 
    on 
    the 
    fly 

    Probably 
    live 
    that 
    way 
    until 
    the 
    day 
    he 
    dies 

    Call 
    him 
    what 
    you 
    want, 

    he'll 
    keep 
    chugging 
    ahead 

    The 
    only 
    home 
    he 
    knows 
    is 

    that 
    old 
    ton 
    of 
    lead 

    He's 
    vagabond, 
    wayfaring 
    soul 

    Only 
    time 
    he 
    feels 
    at 
    home 

    is 
    when 
    he's 
    on 
    a roll 

    He's 
    lonesome 
    hobo 
    with 

    so 
    much 
    to 
    see 
    and 
    do 

    Just 
    lonesome 
    hobo 
    and 

    he's 
    got 
    the 
    blues 

    Brown 
    paper 
    bag, 
    bottle 
    of 
    liquid 
    heat 

    And 
    cheap 
    cigar 
    stuck 
    between 
    his 
    teeth 

    Got 
    gravelly 
    voice, 
    got 
    scraggly 
    hair 

    He's 
    got 
    big 
    beer 
    belly, 

    but 
    he 
    just 
    don't 
    care 

    When 
    he's 
    high 
    on 
    spirits, 

    he 
    keeps 
    his 
    profile 
    low 

    Nev
    er 
    cries 
    when 
    he's 
    dry, 

    hungry, 
    or 
    cold 

    He's 
    lonesome 
    hobo, 

    never 
    means 
    to 
    be 
    rude 

    Just 
    lone
    some 
    hobo, 

    and 
    he's 
    got 
    the 
    blues 

    Hasn't 
    held 
    steady 
    job 
    since 

    he got 
    back 
    from the 
    war 

    He's 
    too 
    proud 
    to 
    beg, 

    so 
    he's 
    always 
    too 
    poor 

    He's 
    bound 
    to 
    ramble, 

    he 
    was 
    born 
    to 
    roam. 

    He 
    can 
    tell 
    funny 
    stories 
    till 

    the 
    cows 
    come 
    home. 

    Some
    times 
    he 
    works, 

    but 
    most 
    of the 
    time 
    he 
    plays. 

    Some
    how 
    he 
    gets 
    by 
    without 

    penny 
    to 
    his 
    name. 

    He's 
    a lonesome 
    hobo 
    on 

    his way 
    to 
    somewhere 
    new. 

    Just 
    lonesome 
    hobo 
    and 
    he's 

    got 
    the 
    blues. 




    Once 
    he 
    had 
    woman 
    but 

    she 
    flew 
    the 
    coop 

    Now 
    it's 
    newspaper 

    blankets 
    and 
    mulligan 

    stew 

    Through 

    Rocky 

    Mountains 
    and 

    Midwest 
    farms 

    Rolling 
    on 
    the 
    tracks 
    until 

    he's 
    back 
    in 
    her 
    arms 

    He 
    gets 
    cold 
    cause 
    he's 
    old 
    but 

    the 
    soup 
    bowl's 
    free 

    sleep
    under 
    stars 
    or 
    when 
    it 
    rains 
    pine 

    tree 
    he's 
    lonesome 
    hobo 
    finding 

    ways 
    to 
    make 
    do 
    just 
    lone
    some 
    hobo 
    and 

    he's 
    got 
    the 
    blues 
    with 
    sideways 
    view 

    his 
    destination's 
    unknown 
    trees 
    fly 
    by 
    but 

    his 
    bird 
    has 
    flown 
    on 
    track 
    on 

    schedule 
    going 
    nowhere 
    fast 
    as 
    he 
    crosses 

    the 
    ties 
    on 
    the 
    rails 
    of 
    his 
    past 

    had 
    his 
    share 
    of 
    hard 
    luck 
    his 
    share 
    of 
    handouts 

    he 
    may 
    be 
    down 
    but 
    never 
    down 

    and 
    now 
    he's 
    lonesome 
    hobo 
    who 
    always 

    pulls 
    through 
    just 
    lonesome 
    hobo 
    and 

    he's 
    got 
    the 
    blues 
    pops 
    train 
    at 
    night 

    jumps 
    ride 
    all 
    day 
    across 
    the 

    great 
    divide, 
    prairies 
    and 
    plains. 

    The 
    boxcar 
    gets 
    him 
    where 

    he 
    wants 
    to 
    go, 

    and 
    deep 
    down 
    inside 
    he's 

    got 
    heart 
    of 
    gold. 

    Never 
    be
    lieved 
    in the 
    devil, 

    never 
    believed 
    in 

    God, 
    but 
    he's 
    too 
    scared 
    to 
    steal, 

    borrow, 
    cheat, 
    or 
    rob. 

    He's 
    lonesome 
    hobo, 
    never 
    graced 

    He's 
    just a 
    lonesome 
    hobo 

    and 
    he's 
    got 
    the 
    blues 

    He's 
    had 
    ragged 
    life, 

    all 
    ripped 
    and 
    torn 

    He's 
    been 
    that 
    way 
    since 

    the 
    day 
    he 
    was 
    born 

    He 
    never 
    stops 
    unless 

    it 
    runs 
    out 
    of 
    steam 

    The 
    whistle 
    wakes 
    him 
    up 
    from 

    crazy 
    hobo 
    dreams 

    He's 
    been 
    no 
    stranger 
    to 
    trouble 

    or 
    telling 
    white 
    lies 

    Someday 
    he's 
    gonna 
    catch 
    the 

    West, 
    bound to 
    die. 

    He's 
    a lonesome 
    hobo, 

    little 
    like 
    me 
    and 
    you. 

    Just 
    lonesome 
    hobo, 
    and 
    he's 
    got 
    the 
    blues.

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
