lyrics

Beside a railroad's water tank
on a cold and winter day
In an open box car
a dying hobo lay

Im going, said the hobo
to a land that’s pure and bright
where hammocks grow on bushes
and you can stay all night

You do not have to work at all
or even change your socks
and a steady stream of alcohol
Comes pouring down the rocks

Oh Caroline , oh Caroline
It ain’t so hard to die
Oh Caroline , oh Caroline
It ain’t so hard to die

His partner sat beside him
with a low and droopin head
listening to the last words
the dying hobo said

Tell my gals in Creston
that no more i’m gonna roam
I hear the fast train coming
i'm on my way back home

Oh Caroline , oh Caroline
It ain't so hard to die
Oh Caroline , oh Caroline
It ain’t so hard to die
