Lyrics Old 97’s – Hobo Christmas Song

(All aboard!)

Snow falls
Out in the railyard morning
Finds the hobo’s woman by the fire

Christmas is for everyone
Every boy’s a mother’s son
Another year is almost done and gone
So we sing our hobo Christmas song

Townsfolk
All locked up in their houses
Us hobos livin’ outside ‘neath the stars
?
where we are

Christmas is for everyone
Every boy’s a mother’s son
Another year is almost done and gone
And so we sing our hobo Christmas song

Yodel-ay-ee
Yodel-ay-ee-oh-ee-yodel-ay-ee
Yodel-ay-ee-oh-ee-yodel-ay-ee-oh-ee-yodel-ay-ee
Yodel-ay-ee-oh-ee-yodel-ay-ee-oh-ee-yodel-ay-ee

Snow falls
Out in the railyard morning
Finds the hobo’s woman by the fire
Weary brothers form a hobo choir

Christmas is for everyone
Every boy’s a mother’s son
Another year is almost done and gone
So we sing our hobo Christmas song

Yodel-ay-ee
Yodel-ay-ee-oh-ee-yodel-ay-ee
Yodel-ay-ee-oh-ee-yodel-ay-ee-oh-ee-yodel-ay-ee
Yodel-ay-ee-oh-ee-yodel-ay-ee-oh-ee-yodel-ay-ee

Christmas is for everyone
Every boy’s a mother’s son
Another year is almost done and gone
So we sing our hobo Christmas song
So we sing our hobo Christmas song
