Version 1[Intro] D/A [Verse] D/A G Wish I was riding the steam train, right out of the pages of time A D/A Down through the ol’ Roaring Twenties, to the fall of 1929 D/A G Back in heyday of railroads, before airplanes fluttered and flew A D Color me in like a cartoon hobo doing what bums used to do [Chorus] G Songs from the great Jimmie Rodgers D G Hearing ol’ Bing Crosby croon D/A This is a song of how things used to be A D/A And a script of a hobo cartoon [Verse] D/A G Show me hopping a freight train, somewhere south of the yard A D/A Make it a Santa Fe boxcar, paint all rusty and hard D/A G Sketch out an old hobo jungle, make the old days come alive on the page A D Build a rough shack, down by thе track, weather it heavy with agе [Chorus] G Songs from the great Jimmie Rodgers D G Hearing ol’ Bing Crosby croon D/A This is a song of how things used to be A D And a script of a hobo cartoon [Instrumental] G D/A A [Bridge] D G Sometimes things are great to remember, some are too good to forget A D Things back then were so different, some things we think of them yet [Chorus] G Songs from the great Jimmie Rodgers D G Hearing ol’ Bing Crosby croon D/A This is a song of how things used to be A D/A And a script of a hobo cartoon
