Says, I asked the conductor um, gal, let me ride the blind
Says, I asked the conductor on here, let me ride this blind
He said, "Better get you a ticket 'cause you know this train ain’t mine."

"I ain’t got no money, Lord, my baby's on the train.
I ain’t got no money, Lord, my baby's on the train."
He said, "Well, how you goin'?" I said "I’m gonna hobo the rod and ride it just the same."

Hey Lord, Lord, Lord Lord, Lordy, Lord
Hey Lordy, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lord
