A hobo is a migratory worker or homeless vagabond, especially one who is penniless. The term originated in the Western—probably Northwestern—United States during the last decade of the 19th century. Unlike 'tramps', who work only when they are forced to, and 'bums', who do not work at all, 'hobos' are workers who wander.
The origin of the term is unknown. Etymologist Anatoly Liberman says that the only details certain about its origin is that the word emerged in American English and was first noticed around 1890. Liberman points out that many folk etymologies fail to answer the question: "Why did the word become widely known in California (just there) by the early Nineties (just then)?" Author Todd DePastino has suggested that it may come from the term hoe-boy meaning "farmhand," or a greeting such as Ho, boy!.Bill Bryson suggests in Made in America that it could either come from the railroad greeting, "Ho, beau!" or a syllabic abbreviation of "homeward bound."H. L. Mencken, in his The American Language (4th ed., 1937), wrote:

I've been walking down this railroad
I've been laying on the tracks
Yes and if I need this railroad
I won't bring it back??
I got me a penny
And a dirty dish
I got me a daisy
I keep between my teeth
I been laying on the flatcar
I been laying in the sun
It's better than a boxcar
When I'm the only one
Always seek a doctor
Please let me stay on
I said I'll always seek a doctor
I won't do you no harm
I've been walking down this railroad
I've been laying on the tracks
Yes and if I need this railroad
I won't bring it back?
I got me a penny
And a dirty dish
I got me a daisy
I keep between my teeth
I been laying on the flatcar
I been laying in the sun
It's better than a boxcar
When I'm the only one
Always seek a doctor
Please let me stay on
I said I'll always seek a doctor

Darling, I hate to see you so angry with the world
If people want a piece of you
Then they're missing something for themselves .
Maybe it's selfish of me to look at you an say
"Come back to me girl I love and I'll stay"
Cause I love your smile
Yes I love your smile
How I love your smile
More than you know.
Sometimes I might seem cold holding back my sympathies
For people stories people tell
Can so easily be believed ;
The truth gets so distorted when everyone knows best
And sadness tends to find his friends
On the road to righteousness -
Darling, let's never be a part of that
Cause I love your smile
I love your smile
Girl, I love your smile
More than you know.
I don't know why a laugh is hard to find
Could it be all of your fears that we hide behind ?
Like bricks in the wall I wanna see them fall down !
Cause I love your smile
Yes I love your smile
How I love your smile
More than you know.
