[Verse 1]
C G I used to be a railroad bum a-livin' on the go C I rode freights from Canada down to Mexico G From sunny Cal to Minnesota where the rippling waters fall G7 C I never seemed to have a dime but I had myself a ball
[Chorus]
G Singin' hi le hi lo he li le li lo C I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore
[Verse 2]
G I walked in the Silver Dollar in Reno one night C I Dropped a quarter in a one armed bandit, the lemons lined up right G Took my winnings then played poker and I won ten thousand more G7 C I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore
[Chorus]
G Singin' hi le hi lo he li le li lo C I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore

C G When cotton's white in Tennessee and shrimp boats sail in Maine C Peach picking time soon will find me ridin' the Georgia train G Cause I get restless when I'm still I guess I always will G7 C Want to keep travelin' all my life over another hill

G Singin' hi le hi lo he li le li lo G7 C I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore
