Last Of The Hobo Kings (Album Version) - Mary Gauthier[00:00:01]

Written by：Mary Gauthi[00:00:01]

Steam Train Maury died last night[00:00:39]

His wife Wanda by his side[00:00:41]

He caught the Westbound out of here[00:00:45]

Hopped the high irons to the by and by[00:00:47]

They say he jumped ten thousand trains[00:00:51]

Rode a million miles for free[00:00:53]

Helped out at VA hospitals and penitentiarys[00:00:57]

Dandy Dave Rusty Nails and Sweet Lady Sugar Cane[00:01:03]

Dead Eye Kate and the Baloney Kid[00:01:08]

Raise their cups tonight in Steam Trains name[00:01:11]

Senators congressmen puppets on a string[00:01:15]

Among the windswept vagabonds Steam Train was the king[00:01:20]

The last[00:01:26]

Of the hobo kings[00:01:31]

The last[00:01:37]

Of the hobo kings[00:01:43]

Now bums just drink and wander round[00:02:12]

Tramps dream and wander too[00:02:15]

But a hobo was a pioneer who preferred to work for food[00:02:18]

He knew how his nation was doing[00:02:24]

By the length of a side walk cigarette butt[00:02:26]

Born with an aching wanderlust[00:02:30]

Embedded in his gut[00:02:32]

Hounded beaten laughed at broke[00:02:36]

Chased out of every town[00:02:38]

With a walking stick scepter[00:02:41]

And a shredded coffee can crown[00:02:44]

The last[00:02:47]

Of the hobo kings[00:02:52]

He was the last[00:02:58]

Of the hobo kings[00:03:04]

The last free men are hoboes[00:03:33]

Steinbeck said and he paid cash[00:03:36]

And the stories that he bought from them[00:03:39]

Helped write the Grapes of Wrath[00:03:41]

But boxcars have been sealed for years[00:03:45]

And trespassers do time[00:03:47]

And the railroad yards are razor wired[00:03:51]

And hoboing's a crime[00:03:53]

So here's to you Steam Train Maury[00:03:56]

Hold that Westbound tight[00:03:59]

As you ride off into history[00:04:02]

The last hobo the last ride[00:04:04]

The last[00:04:07]

Of the hobo kings[00:04:12]

He was the last[00:04:18]

Of the hobo kings[00:04:24]
