I got a hobo love 
Sure can't tie me down 
Now I got a hobo love 
Sure can't turn me down 
My mama used to say 
That boy sure can't stick around 
I got a thin blade in my boot strap 
And I use it every day 
Yeah I got a thin blade in my boot strap 
And I use it every day 
When they see me pull it out 
Oh, they always move away 
I don't know why I keep moving 
Yeah I go from town to town 
I don't know why I keep moving 
Yeah I go from town to town 
Yes, my mama she was right 
I just can't settle down 
I can hear the devil laughing 
At the Lord from way above 
Oh, I can hear the devil laughing 
At the Lord from way above 
Yeah, the Devil know he got me 
Cos I can't quit this hobo love 
Oh, the Devil know he got me 
Cos I can't quit this hobo love 
Can't quit it no more 
I can't quit this hobo love
