The hobo and the boy

The Hobo Song is sung by Kevin Roth on the Shining Time Station Christmas special 'Tis a Gift. In it, a hobo is on a train feeling lonely. A boy arrives giving the teddy bear as a present.

Lyrics

This old train's on its way to a town by the river.
You can hear the whistle blowing for many miles away.
There's an old hobo standing in a train full of letters
And presents wrapped in ribbons. It's coming Christmas Day.
Well, he sees his old town standing as the train keeps on passing.
And he thinks back to when he was loved as a boy back in his home.
And the gold on his fingers cold and bitter from winter's weather.
Just a cold lonely hobo, spending Christmas Time alone.
And only if he knew if there's angel by his side.
And only if he knew he would never be alone.
Well, he turns around to see who is standing there beside him.
It's a boy who looked a lot like him many years ago.
With a present in his hand, he smiles at that hobo
Like angel full of wonder who somehow seems to know.
And now he knows the truth if there's angel by his side.
And now he knows the truth that he will never be alone.
Angel by his side.
