Paddy Goes To Holyhead - Hobo Train lyrics

Today it began to rain I jumped upon a rolling train They call me Hobo Jack by name I couldn′t cure the fever Hurry up the engine lad, hurry up the train I said I feel lonely I feel sad I couldn′t cure the fever One more road I′d like to ride said the bum before he died When the train rolls in the night I couldn′t cure the fever Wherever I lay down my head upon my bundle and my bag I call my home until I′m dead I couldn′t cure the fever I rode the train from coast to coast but in the mountains I like most Been everywhere that is my boast I couldn′t cure the fever Been on busses been on planes so to all I must explain Nothing beats a railroad train I couldn′t cure the fever I′m waiting for a Hobo Train it sends a message to my brain I wanna ride the rails again I couldn′t cure the fever Now I′m grey and old and bent soon to heaven I′ll be send On Peter′s train I′ll be content they couldn′t cure the fever
