Here's how I hear the words: When I first got to hoboin’, oh, hoboin’, I took a freight train to be my friend, oh yeah. Well, I hoboed, I hoboed, Hoboed a great long way from home, oh yeah. Well, mama she followed me that mornin’, me that mornin’, me that morn- Followed me down to the yard, oh yeah. She said, “My son he’s gone, Lord, he gone, he gone. Yes, he gonna work somewhere.” Oh yeah. Well, I left my dear old mother, my dear old mom, my dear old- She was on her knees a-cryin’, oh, yeah.
Hell yeah 🚬😎💨
A pinnacle of human expression. Thanks for sharing.

Keep'em Comin' ....
Great performance! Does anyone know who first recorded this - Burnside or John Lee Hooker?😎💙
John lee hooker originally wrote/ recorded the "hobo blues" song
Thanks!@@whackamole4909
I think the song itself is far older than their versions
