Everybody calls me Bo 

C                    G7 
I got no money but I hoe my row 

F                  G7             C 
Some folks say I'm just a no good kind 

C                        G7 
But I can ride for miles in ol' boxcar 

      C                   G7 
Smoke cigarette butts and used cigars 

F          G7               C 
Ridin' the Atlantic Coastal Line 



F 
Hear that lonesome whistle whine 

C 
Smell that tar from the Georgia pine 

G7                     C 
See that big moon roll above 

G7                      C 
This hobo's life is the life I love

Well I had me a woman in Albany 

C                         G7 
But her rowdy ways made a wreck of me 

    F                 G7               C 
And I had to get away before I lost my mind 

C                           G7 
But as long as this rattler takes me around 

      C                     G7 
There ain't one woman gonna tie me down 

F          G7               C 
Ridin' the Atlantic Coastal Line

I make my coffee in a can 

    C                 G7 
But this hobo ain't a worried man 

F           G7               C 
Mornin' sun greets me with a shine 

C                   G7 
I go south when the trade winds blow 

    C                G7 
And I go north where there ain't no snow
