A Hobo name may not sound like much
But when it comes to Charlie, a Hobo who once had fortune and fame
It has often been said, what’s in a name?
But the story of Charlie, I am not ashamed
Charlie was once a Wall Street Trader
Stocks and Bonds with a Buy or Sell
The Financial transactions at the New York Stock Exchange in tell
But the economy in 2008 is when stocks just fell
It was a down turn
Charlie felt he was burning in his own urn
Well Market Right & Company, Inc. laid Charlie off
For Charlie, it became a struggle of course
He loss his house
Later he loss his spouse
Even the car he ever owned was no longer known
Charlie’s life just became full blown
Well he began to go on a journey on a Freight train
Charlie’s professional life will longer remain
Life as a Hobo being plain
So to the Freight yard at Struggling Point
A Freight train was going to be travelling to the West Coast
But all Hobo Charlie could vision was boost
It was living quarters in freight car
It will be home travelling far
Destination West Coast being the trail
Hobo Charlie’s new beginning a distance in a Hobo’s prevails.
