Lyrics:

Now, when I left Chicago, I left on that G & M
Now, when I left Chicago, I left on that G & M
Then if I reach my home, I have to change over on that L& N

Now, came in on in that Mae West, and I put it down at Chicago Heights
Now, when I came in on that Mae West, I put it down at Chicago Heights
Now, you know, over in hobo jungle, and that's where I stayed the night

Now, if you hobo through Brownsville, you better not be peepin' out
Now, if you hobo through Brownsville, you better not be peepin' out
Now, Mr. Whitten will git you, and Mr. Guy Hare will wear you out

Now, out East of Brownsville, about four miles from town
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
