Wild and reckless, Hobo had left his happy home.
Started on a western trip and by himself alone.
On his western trip alone, he thought he'd have some fun.
He sat down at the station and this is what he sung.
Sitting on a depot platform smoking a cheap cigar.
Waiting for a freight train to catch an empty car.
They put me off at Danville, boys, got struck on a Danville girl.
You bet your life she's out of sight, she wore those Danville curls.
She wore her hat on the back of her head, as high-toned ladies do.
But if that train pulls through this town, I'll bid that girl adieu.
