[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

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[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
