* "Hobo Jungle" by [[The Band]] is a song about the death of an old hobo.
* "Waltzing Mathilda" is the Australian version. It comes from a wave of German immigrants who brought with them some of their habits, such as nicknaming their awesome [[Great Coat]] Mathilda. A German swagman would refer to himself as "Auf der waltz mit mein Mathilda" (on the walk with my Mathilda), with all his belongings (swag) wrapped up in his coat.
* "King of the Road" by [[Roger Miller]] describes (in the first person) an early-20th century hobo who travels from city to city on overnight freight trains:

''I'm a man of means by no means''
