Tonight as I lay on the boxcar
Just waiting for a train to pass by
What will become of the hobo
When his time comes to die
There's a Master up yonder in heaven
Got a place that we might call our home
Will we have to work for a living
Or can we continue to roam
Will there be any freight trains in heaven
Any boxcars in which we might hide
Will there by any tough cops or brakemen
Will they tell us that we cannot ride
Will the hobo chum with the rich man
Will we always have money to spare
Will they have respect for the hobo
In that land that lies up there
Repeat ChorusI’m sorry for the things I’ve done
I know that I’m the foolish one
Now that I see who’s to blame
I’m so ashamed, I’m sorry
I’m sorry for the things I’ve said
Just like a child I lost my head
I should have known from the start
I’d break your heart, I’m sorry
Please be kind and I know you’ll find
It’s so easy to forgive
Darling, wait for it’s not too late
Give our love a chance to live
I know the heartaches you’ve been through
I know for I’ve had heartaches, too
There’s nothing more I can do
But say to you “I’m sorryâ€ÂÂ
Please be kind and I know you’ll find
It’s so easy to forgive
Darling, wait for it’s not too late
Give our love a chance to live, oh live
I know the heartaches you’ve been through
I know for I’ve had heartaches, too
There’s nothing more I can do
But say to you----“I’m sorryâ€ÂÂ
(Darling, I’m truly sorry)
