Hobo Love Blues

I got a hobo love
Sure can't tie me down
Now I got a hobo love
Sure can't turn me down
My mama used to say
That boy sure can't stick around

I got a thin blade in my boot strap
And I use it every day
Yeah I got a thin blade in my boot strap
And I use it every day
When they see me pull it out
Oh, they always move away

I don't know why I keep moving
Yeah I go from town to town
I don't know why I keep moving
Yeah I go from town to town
Yes, my mama she was right
I just can't settle down

I can hear the devil laughing
At the Lord from way above
Oh, I can hear the devil laughing
At the Lord from way above
Yeah, the Devil know he got me
Cos I can't quit this hobo love
Oh, the Devil know he got me
Cos I can't quit this hobo love
Can't quit it no more
I can't quit this hobo love
