Verse 1
G
It was a bright summer's day
in the month of May
Em
By the waters called
Am
the Tomahawk flows
G
Through a pinewood grove
where I chanced to stroll
F
Am
There I spied a hobo's grave
G
Now he lies all alone
in a grave unknown
F
Am
Where the Norway bends and sways
F
G
Where the big timber wolves
on the cold wintry nights
Em
Am
they will howl o 'er the hobo's grave.
F
G
Roll along, boxcars,
through the midnight gloom,
F
through the wild and the woolly west.
There's none to direct the
G
money or the check,
F
Am
for the hobo lies at rest.
G
He may have been his father's only son,
F
Am
or his mother's pride and joy,
But he lies at rest
G
in the land called the West
Am
G
Where no lilies bloom in May.
E
G
No stone marks the spot
where the hobo lies,
Em
Am
There's no lilies to direct your gaze,
F
G
There is none to watch
over the spot where he lies
Em
Am
In the lonesome hobo's grave.
