Picking games

I was watching an older episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm and was intrigued to hear a different ending for Eenie, Meenie, Miney Moe. I looked it up on Wikipedia and was surprised that the version my great grandfather taught me wasn't listed.

Eenie, Meenie, Miney Moe
Catch a hobo by the toe
If he hollers make him pay
fifty dollars every day

Where a hobo was supposed to get fifty dollars a day is beyond me. There was something about make him stay also but I can't remember what it is. Oh memory, how fleeting thou art.
