Spotting On The Top Of Blackpool Tower - Warren Smith

作词：IVAN BLACK, ADOLPHE CHARLES ADAM

作曲：IVAN BLACK, ADOLPHE CHARLES ADAM

Riding on an eastbound freight train

Speeding through the night

Hobo Bill a railroad bum was fighting for his life

The sadness of his eyes revealed the torture of his

Soul

He raised a weak and weary hand to brush away the cold

Ho -oh oh bo-oh-oh Billy

No warm lights flickered around him no blankets there

To fold

Nothing but the howling wind and the driving rain so

Cold

When he heard a whistle blowing in a dreamy kind of way

The hobo seemed contented for he smiled there where he

Lay

Ho -oh oh bo-oh-oh Bill

Outside the rain was falling on that lonely boxcar door

But the little form of Hobo Bill lay still upon the

Floor

While the train sped through the darkness and the

Raging storm outside

No one knew that Hobo Bill was taking his last ride

Woo woo

It was early in the morning when they raised the hobo's

Head

The smile still lingered on his face but Hobo Bill was

Dead

There was no mother's longing to soothe his weary soul

For he was just a railroad bum who died out in the cold

Woo woo
