Les chansons de Hobo ont pour thème principal le voyage, l’exode, la fuite.
À travers celle-ci, le texan John Jackson chante une poésie mélancolique qui dit le mal-être et le désarroi de ces voyageurs clandestins, en quête de jours meilleurs. A horn désigne une embarcation de fortune.
lyrics
I’m goin’ down in Georgia on a horn,
Goin’ down in Georgia on a horn,
Oh Lordy me, trouble that I see,
Goin’ down in Georgia on a horn.
I ain’t got my right mind today,
I ain’t got my right mind today,
Oh Lordy me, trouble that I see,
I ain’t got my right mind today.
Oh Lord, won’t you please come down here,
Oh Lord, won’t you please come down here,
Oh Lordy me, trouble that I see,
Oh Lord, won’t you please come down here.
