The version I have is a little different, but I have a question, I'm playing it with Jazz - Blue Note as the style and 110BPM could anyone tell me what they think is the best time signature, style and BPM for the song, here it on YouTube The Hobo Song (original, youtube)
And here's the version I've cobbled together: Hobo Song, The - Jack Bonus

I believe your 4/4 time sig is correct and ~110 is fine. Surprisingly, Blue Note style is probably as close as the currently available iRp styles can get to the recording.
I might label the intro (using text) as Freely.
Using the mixer, try changing piano to either jazz organ or percussive organ and readjust the level.
Good job!

Thank you, that's a good suggestion about the organ; you don't have fantastic horns, more's the pity
The time is, I think, 4/4 but there's an odd lilt to it that's almost latin but not really. It's a great tune, the whole album is good, I bought it in the 70s when it first came out, though the lyrics to Sweet Mahidabelle might be problematic nowadays instead of just a satirical comment as they were then
