《Introduction To ”Hobo Bill”(Live)(2001 Digital Remaster)》歌词

时长： 01:07

The hobo was a subject that the late[00:00:00]

And great Jimmie Rogers[00:00:02]

Sang of many times during his great career[00:00:03]

And the freight train served a faithful[00:00:06]

Means of travel for the migrant worker[00:00:08]

Or for the fella out of work or some ole boy[00:00:10]

That just wanted to live off[00:00:12]

The fat of our great land[00:00:13]

And of course at this time[00:00:16]

The fat was kind a scarce[00:00:17]

Because during the period of Jimmie Rodger's[00:00:20]

Greatest popularity[00:00:21]

Our great Nation's economy was at all time low[00:00:23]

And it was known as the depression days[00:00:27]

During this time[00:00:31]

It wasn't unusual to see 50 or 75 hobos[00:00:32]

Jump from a moving freight train[00:00:36]

As it neared the edge of a city[00:00:37]

This was dangerous[00:00:40]

But it was done to keep from[00:00:41]

Being caught by the[00:00:42]

Train bulls that worked[00:00:43]

The great freight yards during this era[00:00:44]

A lot of the hobos[00:00:47]

Were respectable men and rode the rods[00:00:48]

Because it provided a dependable[00:00:50]

Means of travel which they could afford[00:00:51]

And some of them made their destinations[00:00:55]

And some of them died alongthe tracks[00:00:57]

And their friends and family never knew[00:01:00]

What happened to 'em[00:01:01]

And I would imagine maybe that Hobo Bill[00:01:03]

Was one of them[00:01:05]
