Hoboes of America membership card with the Hoboes’ Oath circa 1939 :: via flickr.com

So I was amazed just by the fact you could be a card-carrying member and there was an official oath. Yes, I get that it’s itinerant migratory workers, I am enjoying the word choices. But then I realized there was a KING OF HOBOES…FOR LIFE (elected at the Hoboe Convention, obviously).
Jeff Davis wins.
