There once was a train that put to rail
The name of the train was Ol southern hell
The hobos road and they heard the bell
Oh ride, my hobos , ride(huh)
Soon may the Ol southern come
To bring us rides and beer and guns
One day, when the ridings done
We'll take our ride and go
She'd been traveling two weeks with a load of pork
When down on her a right a hobo board
Ol shack called all his hands and swore
He'd take that hobo in tow (huh)
Soon may the Ol southern come
To bring us rides and beer and guns
One day, when the ridings done
We'll take our ride and go
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Before the train had turned the line
Ol shack came up and tanned his hide
His hands to the side, he threw and fought
When the hobo fell down low (huh)
Soon may the Ol southern come
To bring us rides and beer and guns
One day, when the ridings done
We'll take our ride and go
No train was rode ,no ride was free
The conductors mind was was that of greed
And he belonged to the railroads creed
He took that train in low (huh)
Soon may ol southern come
To bring us rides and beer and guns
One day, when the ridings done
We'll take our ride and go
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
For forty days or even more
The hobo went and tried to board
Ol shack he fought and the fight was short
But still he lost the war
Soon may ol southern come
To bring us rides and beer and guns
One day, when the ridings done
We'll take our ride and go
