Il testo della Railroad bum

I used to be a railroad bum a living on the go
I rode freights from canada down to mexico
From sunny cal to minnesota where the rippling waters falls
I never seemed to have a dime but i had myself a ball

Singing hi le hi lo, he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum
But i'm not anymore

I walked in the silver dollar in reno one night
Dropped a quarter in a one armed bandit the lemons lined up right
Took my winnings then played poker and i won ten thousand more

I used to be a railroad bum
But i'm not anymore
Singing hi le hi lo, he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum
But i'm not anymore

When cotton's white in tennessee and shrimp boats sail in maine
Peach picking time soon will find me ridin' a georgia train
'cause i get restless when i'm still i guess i always will
Want to keep traveling all my life over another hill

Singing hi le hi lo, he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum
But i'm not anymore
Singing hi le hi lo, he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum
But i'm not anymore
