Dolly Parton – Hobo’s Meditation lyrics
Written by Jimmie Rodgers
© 1933 Peer International Corp
Last night as I lay on the boxcar
Just waiting for a train to pass by
What will become of the hobo
Whenever 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 be 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 hidden up there
Will there be any freight trains in heaven
Any boxcars in which we might hide
Will there be 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 hidden up there

    A poignant song, written during the Great Depression, that speaks to the uncertainty and despair of many Americans of that era. Yet it also incorporates some of the romance and adventure that inspired the lives of some of these wanderers. It is timeless in that it presents the deep class divisions we wrestle with today. It is a beautiful song of longing and introspection and the title (Meditations) is perfect.
