Folks in Nashville slammed the door   Said we don't want you anymore   Find your own way down the road   Pack your fiddle and your guitar   Take a train or take a car   Find someone else to keep you from the cold      Rollin' and ramblin'   Women loved him half to death   He sang with whiskey on his breath   His heart broke like a child's   Rollin' and ramblin'   The sun has set out on the trail   The hobo's drifted up the rail   He's taken his last ride      Oh, he always sang the blues   Like it was all he ever knew   He didn't sing at all that night   He was pale and as he dozed   He didn't know his time had closed   Slumped in the back seat to the right      Rollin' and ramblin'   Women loved him half to death   He sang with whiskey on his breath   His heart broke like a child's   Rollin' and ramblin'   The sun has set out on the trail   The hobo's drifted up the rail   He's taken his last ride      So they send him on night train South   Through the cities and the rural routes   Just one more place to go   Ah, the whistle sang the bluest note   Like it cames from his own throat   Moanin' sad and cryin' low      Rollin' and ramblin'   Women loved him half to death   He sang with whiskey on his breath   His heart broke like a child's   Rollin' and ramblin'      The sun has set out on the trail   The hobo's drifted up the rail   He's taken his last ride      Rollin' and ramblin'   The sun has set out on the trail   The hobo's drifted up the rail   He's taken his last ride
