C
It was a dark rainy night down in Texas
Am
I believe the year was nineteen-sixty-two

When I packed up all my rags in one little bag
G7 C
I started walking holes in my shoes

I could hear the engineer's lonesome whistle
Am
And old Hank he was singing the blues

When I walked out the door said I won't be back no more

Started walking holes in my shoes

Since I left well I ain't had no news

Listen my friends I'd do it all again

Walk another hole in my shoes

Well sometimes I still miss that woman

Like tonight my mind's on the blues

Was a long time ago I became a hobo

And old Hank he was singing the blues
