歌曲名 Introduction To Hobo Bill (Live In Muskogee, Oklahoma+1969) 歌手名 Merle Haggard

The hobo was a subject that the late

And great Jimmie Rogers

Sang of many times during his great career

And the freight train served a faithful

Means of travel for the migrant worker

Or for the fella out of work or some ole boy

That just wanted to live off

The fat of our great land

And of course at this time

The fat was kind a scarce

Because during the period of Jimmie Rodger

Greatest popularity

Our great Nation economy was at all time low

And it was known as the depression days

During this time

It wasn unusual to see 50 or 75 hobos

Jump from a moving freight train

As it neared the edge of a city

This was dangerous

But it was done to keep from

Being caught by the

Train bulls that worked

The great freight yards during this era

A lot of the hobos

Were respectable men and rode the rods

Because it provided a dependable

Means of travel which they could afford

And some of them made their destinations

And some of them died alongthe tracks

And their friends and family never knew

What happened to

And I would imagine maybe that Hobo Bill

Was one of them
