There's a voice, keeps on calling me
Down the road, that's where I'll always be.
Every stop I make, I'll 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 moving 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 moving on.
It's a great memorable song. It is the best thing about the show. The story itself is a nameless hobo dog played by London (and his relatives) who travels around for unknown reasons. He stops to help at the start of every episode. Sometimes, the people give him a name but by the end, he leaves for the open road after saving the day. It is family fare. The stories are melodramas, crime dramas, and even episonage dramas. The production is strictly early Canadian TV. There is a parade of professional Canadian actors. Since there is no regular human cast, there are new people every week and only a few do professional work. The quality is videotape rather than film. That leaves the show with an older faded look. For all the negatives, the song is undeniable and there is an endearing innocent charm to the show.
