Littlest Hobo

It's the old old story ... someone has a problem, dog comes along and saves the day, everyone wants the dog to stay ... dog buggers off!

The Littlest Hobo featured 'London' the German Shepherd. It appeared originally as a movie, and was made into a black-and-white TV series in the early sixties. A later remake, running from 1979 to 1985 is the one most people seem to remember - the song and theme tune are from this one, and its feature in a recent Nat West advert (circa. 1998) has caused a resurgence of interest.

There's a voice that keeps on calling me.
Down the road, that's where I'll always be.
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 a while,
Just grab your hat, we'll travel light.
That's hobo style.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down.
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on.
