music question

[JUDWAK]

i have been looking on and off for a group that i had on tape back in my teens
i could not read back then so i have no idea what they was called
they sang a song that was about a hobbo it was called mr hobbo (i think)
they has a sound like steppen wolf /free that sort or sound
and i could not say what year they were from pre 1990's is all i could say
the song that sticks in my head it go's
mr hoobo who i know it never go's your way
iam mr hobbo who i know the price i pay
or something like that it was 25 years since i heard this song


i hope this means something to some body its been doing my head in for years now
please tar thanks very much
but you still ugly

Try the search function on iTunes . Search by artist,song or genre, might get you an answer and you can also listen to a part of the track for free! Hope this helps but there will be someone along with an answer soon I'd say!!

Maybe?????????


I jumped off a boxcar down around Tennessee
I was cold tired and dirty hungry as I could be
But I had my guitar and a hundred railroad songs
So I asked the policeman
Can I stay here long
He said Mr. Hobo you got to go now
We don't want you around
See I'm trying to build a respectable town
And we don't need a hobo like you around

So I left that town, Lord with my guitar in my hand
Still cold and tired, kinda mad at the man
But this life that I chose to live, sometime's strange
See I'm trying to learn about the old music from ridin' the train
I'm a hobo I know, but thta's the price I pay
Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way
Catch me another train and this is what I'll say
Mr Choo-choo train take me away

I'm goin' to ride this train Lord until I find out
What Jimmie Rogers and the Hag was all about
See I play this rock n roll and I think that's fine
But I wnta to go back a little further in time
I'm a hobo I know but that's the price I pay
Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way
Catch me another train and this is what I'll say
Mr Choo-choo train take me away

Great stuff - if we'd had two girls the second one was going to be called Jessica (Jackie thought it was just cos I liked the name !)
