When I'm A Hobo
03:19
|
|||
Will you still love me when I'm a hobo?
Baby I've got this feeling and I've gotta go
You know there ain't a damn thing I don't love about you
Honey this is something I gotta do
Gotta learn to blow this harp before I leave
Out there on the road it's how I'll earn my keep
Just gimme a couple of days and I'll be playing it right
Til the tips fill up my bucket every night.
Starting to feel alright with being alone
Is that a sign my soul has died or that I've grown?
Before I leave there's one I've got to know
Will you still love me when I'm a hobo?
Will you be waiting for me when I come back to town?
Or will there be another man you've found
The Appalachian Trail is calling out my name
I know if I leave things will never be the same
Starting to feel alright with being alone
Is that a sign my soul has died or that I've grown?
Before I leave there's one I've got to know
Will you still love me when I'm a hobo?
Will you still love me
If I leave this place
Will you still love me
All I'll think about is your pretty face
Grown a little tired of being alone
I think it's time for me to head back home
You'll be in my arms before too long
And I'll be done singing this hobo song

Met a wonderful gal who thinks I'm great
The only problem is she lives another state
With a beautiful smile and long red hair
Will I see her again? I don't know when or where
I first thought she was out of my league
A girl like that'll never go for me
Started to talk and to my surprise
I saw the look of love in her eyes
She's got me wondering, she's got me yearning
Every evening I'm tossing and turning
I'm wondering, now I'm yearning
Wondering if I'll ever see her again
It was Friday night we were hanging out
All the wrong words came out of my mouth
She gave me a hug and said goodnight
Maybe a second chance tomorrow night
Saturday night rolled around
Her and I were drinking 'em down
Made a little plan to sneak away
That night was great but now I've got to say
She's got me wondering, she's got me yearning
Every evening I'm tossing and turning
I'm wondering, now I'm yearning
Wondering if I'll ever see her again
Went back home with her on my mind
A girl like that is so hard to find
Now we're on the phone almost every day
And I know all the right words to say
1,140 miles away
I think I can make it in a couple of days
I'll find a way to get over there
And see the girl with the long red hair
She's got me wondering, she's got me yearning
Every evening I'm tossing and turning
I'm wondering, now I'm yearning
Wondering if I'll ever see her again

Cluck Old Hen
02:17
|

Had a little hen that had a wooden leg
Best damn hen that ever laid an egg
Laid more eggs than any other on the farm
One more drink won't do me any harm
Cluck old hen cluck and sing
Ain't laid an egg since way last spring
Cluck old hen cluck and squall
Ain't laid an egg since way last fall
My old hen's a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes nine sometimes ten
That's enough for the railroad men
Cluck old hen cluck and sing
Ain't laid an egg since way last spring
Cluck old hen cluck and squall
Ain't laid an egg since way last fall
My old hen she won't do
She lays eggs and taters too
Sometimes one sometimes two
That don't feed the railroad crew
Cluck old hen cluck and sing
Ain't laid an egg since way last spring
Cluck old hen cluck and squall
Ain't laid an egg since way last fall
Fritz won't eat that bird no more
He'll just sell it at the grocery store
Of that hen he's had his fill
But it still helps him pay the bills
Cluck old hen cluck and sing
Ain't laid an egg since way last spring
Cluck old hen cluck and squall
Ain't laid an egg since way last fall

Payne County Line
03:21

A rain that won't stop falling a sun that will not shine
I'm standing on the border of the Payne County Line
There's a sheriff coming now to gun me down
He's sure to shoot me cold if there's no one else around
It seems I stole his sweetheart if only for a night
It's out the bedroom window into the morning light
Riding for two weeks now without a bite to eat
No whiskey for a drink and not a place to sleep
Tied a dead bunch of roses from the ceiling on a string
When it's all said and done now it don't mean a thing
Til this wind whistles by with a solid golden ring
That's how I found myself out on the road again
No woman I can talk to no one to call a friend
A rain that won't stop falling a sun that will not shine
I'm standing on the border of the Payne County Line
Tied a dead bunch of roses from the ceiling on a string
When it's all said and done now it don't mean a thing
Til this wind whistles by with a solid golden ring
A rain that won't stop falling a sun that will not shine
I'm standing on the border of the Payne County Line

Can't Catch Me
04:15
|
|||
I'm an outlaw on the run because I had a little fun
Sheriff's got me in his sights been on this trail for a many night
Send chase as fast as you can or even hire the meanest man
Put a hound dog on my track you know they'll soon be headed back
If this trail should come to an end I will shoot down the sheriff's men
No no no you can't catch me
I can ride all night to Dallas, that's half way to the Pedernales
Where there's a camp of outlaw men, they steal and murder but they call me friend
Among the caves and canyons our numbers make us strong
I'll cut down that crooked sheriff while singing an outlaw song
About our rough and rowdy ways while I dance all night on that sheriff's grave
No no no you can't catch me
The outlaws drink and carry on and I step out to use the john
I feel a pistol in my back it seems that sheriff followed my track
A take a deep breath and fear it may be my last when from the darkness there comes a shotgun blast
Who is this man that saved my life? It was the father of the sheriff's wife
No no no you can't catch me

The train from Kansas City pulled into town
The brakes let out a shriek as it slowed down
Blackie rose to his feet and said "this is my stop"
The town didn't know they would bleed the last drop
As night crept in on this little town
They waited til no one was around
Peered in the window saw a family of six
By the rooster's crow this murderer had his fix
If he comes to your town
He brings a vengeance
He brings a madness
He brings a fury
He brings a pain
At 7 AM they were absent for chores
The neighbor knocked and pounded on the door
But motionless in their bed's they lie
Life taken from them never again to rise

Touch The Sun
03:04

Remember the day that we first met
We hadn't had that spark just yet
It was soon to come now I'll never forget
The feeling I was feeling was so strong
In two weeks time I asked you out
You said yes despite my doubts
I took you out for a night on the town
And the feeling we were feeling was so strong
That night we had a world of fun
We were up to see the rising sun
I wish I could tell everyone
But you told me to keep my mouth shut
Exchanging glances all through the day
Why do we have to hide it anyway?
I know this will be over soon
Because a secret's not a secret for too long
Now our life is a world of fun
I feel like I can touch the sun
I wish I could tell everyone
But you told me to keep my mouth shut
Went on the mountain for a jamboree
I asked you to marry me
Now you are my wife to be
And this feeling we're feeling is so strong
Now our life is a world of fun
I feel like I can touch the sun
Now I'm gonna tell everyone
I can't hardly keep my mouth shut

I Know You Rider

I know you rider gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gonna miss your baby from rolling in your arms
Laid down last night I could not take my rest
My mind was wandering like the wild geese in the west
A light will shine on my back door some day
March winds will blow all of my troubles away
Wish I was a headlight on a northbound train
I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain
I know you rider gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gonna miss your baby from rolling in your arms

Bat City Blues

My baby done left me for a pedicab driver
That's OK she wore mom jeans and I never really liked her
My scooter and my bicycle are both broken down
And the bus takes two hours just to get across town
But there's no place I'd rather be
Here it's not cold it's paradise to me
I'd rather be down and out in Austin
So glad that I'm down and out in Austin
My favorite food truck packed up and drove away
No longer can I sit and eat breakfast tacos all day
Spent my last dollar on a pearl snap from a second hand store
Went into debt eating queso at the restaurante next door
But there's no place I'd rather be
Here it's not cold it's paradise to me
I'd rather be down and out in Austin
So glad that I'm down and out in Austin
Took a walk with my dog to Auditorium Shores
The police said I couldn't have him off the leash anymore
So we jumped into the river that everyone calls a lake
Hijacked a kayak watched the bats and got baked
But there's no place I'd rather be
Here it's not cold it's paradise to me
I'd rather be down and out in Austin
So glad that I'm down and out in Austin

Bones
02:50
|

It's the place where many babies took their first breath
Where we've joined in laughter but also have wept
It's the place where you and I once did call home
Now I ask of you return my bones
Return my bones to this ground oh lord
Return my bones to this ground
I know that when I die I will have live satisfied
If you return my bones to this ground
Climb the buckeye tree oh I can see
All the way across town I never wanna come down
Go down to the creek and catch a couple of frogs
Or go running through the field like a pack of wild dogs
Return my bones to this ground oh lord
Return my bones to this ground
I know that when I die I will have live satisfied
If you return my bones to this ground
Sometimes at night I dream of homemade ice cream
Friends and family gathered 'round on the outskirts of town
Smell the lilac bush on a breezy summer day
This I will remember forever and always
Return my bones to this ground oh lord
Return my bones to this ground
I know that when I die I will have live satisfied
If you return my bones to this ground
