Lyrics to the first run of The Littlest Hobo (1963-5):

"I find adventure everywhere,
and friends with whom I'd like to share.
This is my stop along the way.
Don't really know how long I'll stay.
Stop over. The world is my friend.
Stop over along the road without end."

"Traveling around from town to town.
Sometimes I think I'll settle down.
But I know I'd hunger to be free.
Rovin' is the only life for me.
A-driftin'. The world is my friend.
I'm travelin' along the road without end."

Each episode of the 1979-85 series opens and closes with "Maybe
Tomorrow", performed by Terry Bush to the lyrics of John Crossen

There's a voice that keeps on calling me.
Down the road. That's where I'll always be.
Oh, every stop I make, I make a new friend
Can't stay for long. Just turn around, and I'm gone again.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down.
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on.
So, if you want to join me for awhile, just grab your hat, and we'll
travel light.
That's hobo style.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down.
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on.
Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home. "

Are you referring to the original series from the 60s,
or the remake which was shown on Canadian TV only in
the late 70s? (And before the original television show,
there was even a movie by the same name.)

Kevin McCorry's Littlest Hobo page at

http://www.members.tripod.com/kevinmccorrytv/hobo.html

has information on both series. Here's what he gives
as the lyrics for the original:

The lyrics to the opening and closing songs
for the 1963-5 television series are as follows.

Hi Jen,

I loved that show...so I will take a stab
at the lyrics...I have not seen reruns of it in at least 15 years, but lets see
what the memory bank holds...BTW, the star
(the littlest hobo) was a german shepherd
named London, and the show was distributed by Storer Productions...here goes:

"Travelin around from town to town
Someday I think I'll settle down
But I know I hunger to be free
Driftin's the only life for me

A Driftin'
The world is my friend
A travelin'
Along the road
Without end"

That's most of it as best I remember.

not sure who the singer was but rippChord their where in fact three dogs thats
played hobo they were London,Hobo,and Thor they were trained by a trainer in Mount
Bridges Ont. Canada the show was canceled after Hobo and London where Poisioned by
some sick piece of trash who didn't like the show. As for the Lyrics sorry I can
only remember one or two lines of it.
Hope ya find what your looking for.
