Hobos in the Roundhouse
G C G
From seven to seven, every night of the week
D
Fixin' trains in the roundhouse, I work on my feet
C G
And I told my children, I hope the bedbugs don't bite
X D G
And I've got hobos sleeping in the roundhouse tonight.
G C G
From Akron to Hinckley and Prairie de Chein
D
They are soldier and lawyers and I believe what they're sayin'
C G
And I'll roust them at four and they'll head down the line
X D G
My hoboes sleepin' in the roundhouse tonight.
C G
Goodnight, my hobos, rest your vagabond heads
C D
On your old knapsack pillows in your gunnysack bed
C G
For a few stolen hours, you'll be alright
X D G
My hobos sleepin' in the roundhouse tonight.
G C G
Well, they hired a new man to work as a guard
D
Every mornin' at sunrise he checks out the yard,
C G
But for now, I don't trust him, though he seems pretty nice
X D G
'Cause I got hobos sleepin' in the roundhouse tonight.
G C G
Well, I asked my Savior, "What should I do?
D
If I'm caught helping hobos my job could be through."
C G
And I heard the answer, so clear and so bright,
X D G
"Are My hobos sleeping in your roundhouse tonight"
C G
Goodnight, my hobos, rest your vagabond heads
C D
On your old knapsack pillows in your gunnysack bed
C G
For a few stolen hours, you'll be alright
X D G
My hobos sleepin' in the roundhouse tonight.
Goodnight, boys.
