He was standin by the highway[00:00:11]
With a sign that just said mother[00:00:14]
When he heard a driver comin[00:00:17]
Bout a half a mile away[00:00:19]
Then he held the sign up higher[00:00:22]
Where no decent soul could miss it[00:00:26]
It was ten degrees or colder[00:00:28]
Down by bolder dam that day[00:00:31]
He was raised up in milwaukee[00:00:38]
Though he never was that famous[00:00:41]
He was just a road musician[00:00:44]
To the taverns he would go[00:00:46]
Singin songs about the ramblin[00:00:50]
The lovin girls and gamblin[00:00:53]
How the world fell on his shoulders[00:00:55]
Back in boulder I dont know[00:00:58]
It was out in arizona[00:01:14]
That he heard the lady listenin[00:01:17]
To each word that he was sayin[00:01:20]
To each line that he would write[00:01:22]
So he sat down by her table and[00:01:25]
They talked about the weather[00:01:29]
Ninety eight point six and risin[00:01:31]
Down by boulder dam that day[00:01:34]
And she told him she would take him[00:01:40]
For a ride in the mornin sun[00:01:45]
Back in boulder he had told her[00:01:50]
I dont know when I had a better friend[00:01:55]
Now hes traded off his martin[00:02:04]
But his troubles are not over[00:02:07]
For his feet are almost frozen[00:02:09]
And the sun is sinkin low[00:02:12]
Wont you listen to me brother[00:02:15]
If you ever loved your mother[00:02:18]
Please pull off on the shoulder[00:02:21]
If youre goin milwaukee way[00:02:24]
Its ten degrees and getting colder[00:02:26]
Down by boulder dam today[00:02:30]
