Lyrics:

A Number One was a good old soul
Lived his life on the rails and roads
Jumped the trains from town to town
Carried a book where he wrote it all down

He was the Hobo King, the Hobo King
A Number One was the Hobo King

The most famous rambler folks had ever seen
Didn’t smoke or drink, he was always clean
Two fifty-dollar bills and a gentleman’s style
Traveled the rails for miles and miles

Knew his name in every hobo jungle
The life of a tramp, simple and humble
Would leave his mark before he moved on
So A Number One will never be gone

A Number one is at rest at last
Left a little of himself so we’d remember the past
Final train he jumped was headed westbound
Now A Number One wears a hobo crown
