HOBO BLUES DE JOHN LEE HOOKER PAR J'EN-AI-ASSEZ!

 

When I first thought to hobo

I took a freight train to be my friend. Oh Lord

You know I hobo

Hobo a long, long way from home.

Oh Lord

 

Yes, I did. Long time ago.

 

I left home in the morning

My mother followed me down,

to the freight train yard.

Oh Lord

 

She said : «My son is gone

Take care of my child.

Travelling far away

Working hard all day».

Oh Lord

 

Next time I start to hobo

My babe will be by my side

My life will not be so long,

My day won’t be so blue

Oh Lord

 

 

I hobo no more

The freight train is no more my home

I hobo no more

Oh Lord
