CHORUS
 I got holes in my pockets, holds in my  shoes
Ain’t  got no job, got dem  Hobo  Blues

 I went down to the station,  looking for a train
All I  found as 50 Hobo’s  all thinking the ] same
 Figured I didn’t fix in,  with my suit and tie
But  I don’t so work pretty soon, I  might just up and  die

CHORUS
Got dem Hobo  Blues, Got dem Hobo  Blues
I  got holes in my pockets, holds in my  shoes
Ain’t  got no job, got dem  Hobo  Blues

 Mr. President whatcha gonna do, to  help the working man
When  you ran for election,  you talked bout your great big plan
 Where is the land of milk and honey, that  we read about
The rich get richer by a million  everyday  you’re in the White House

REPEAT CHORUS
Got dem Hobo  Blues, Got dem Hobo  Blues
I  got holes in my pockets, holds in my  shoes
Ain’t  got no job, got dem  Hobo  Blues

TAG
 I got holes in my pockets, holds in my  shoes
Ain’t  got no job, got dem  Hobo  Blues
We’ve seen the factories close and our  jobs heading south
The  rich get richer by a million  everyday you’re  in the White House
