Railroad looks so pretty (Oooooo) Moonlight's on the track Yonder come two hoboes With a rucksack on their back Well it's oh, babe No home, babe
Work on the Georgia road gang Ninety days in the county jail Run away from that ball and chain With the hound dogs on their trail Well it's oh, babe No home, babe
Clothes all torn to pieces Nobody knows their name Yes, they've travelled through a thousand towns And they all look just the same Well it's oh, babe No home, babe
When you're broke and hungry (Oooooo) It's hard to keep the law Rode all the way from New Orleans Back to Arkansas Well it's oh, babe No home, babe
