时长: 02:38
Riding on that eastbound freight train[00:00:01]
Speeding through the night[00:00:06]
Hobo Bill a railroad bum[00:00:10]
Was fighting for his life[00:00:14]
The sadness of his eyes revealed[00:00:18]
The torture of his soul[00:00:22]
He raised a weak[00:00:26]
And weary hand to brush away the cold[00:00:27]
Ho-bo Bill[00:00:36]
No warm lights flickered round him no[00:00:44]
Blankets there to hold[00:00:48]
Nothing but the howling wind[00:00:52]
And the driving rain so cold[00:00:56]
When he heard a whistle blowing[00:01:02]
In a dreamy kind of way[00:01:06]
The hobo seemed contented[00:01:10]
For he smiled there where he lay[00:01:14]
Ho-bo Bill[00:01:20]
Outside the rain was falling on[00:01:47]
That lonely boxcar door[00:01:51]
But the little form of Hobo Bill lay[00:01:55]
Still upon the floor[00:01:59]
There was no mother's longing[00:02:05]
To soothe his weary soul[00:02:09]
For he was just a railroad bum[00:02:13]
Who died out in the cold[00:02:17]
Ho-bo Bill[00:02:23]
