Now when I left Chicago : I left on that G and M
Then if I reach my home : I'll be changed all on that L 
and N
Now I came in all in that Main West : and I putted down 
at Chicago Heights
Now you know it didn't hobo John none : and that's where 
I stayed all night

Now if you hobo in Brownsville : you better not be 
peeping out
Now Mr Whitten will get you : and Mr Guy will wear you 
out
Now out east of Brownsville : about four miles from town
Now if you ain't got your fare : that's where they will 
let you down
