I'm looking for the lyrics to an old song from the late depression era-30's or thereabout. I don't know the artist, but it was recorded for play on a graphaphone (I don't know what that is). The song may have been called "The Great American Bum" and all I know about it is words to the effect "this land is rolling, now if this is true, roll it here to me and I'll see what I can do." I have found a song "The Pender Harbour Fisherman's Come All Ye" that claims to be a "variation of" "The Great American Bum" but has no words that identify it as the song I'm looking for. Also found reference that this song may have been a hobo song. Any leads will be appreciated. Thanks!
