"Wild and Reckless Hobo," sung by Bill Baker in 1930 on Brunswick 445, is listed in The Traditional Ballad Index. In the Max Hunter Folk Song Collection is the same song, sung by Bill Baker, with guitar, Saint Paul, Arkansas, Oct. 1973, Real Audio and text.

This somewhat different version speaks of the Denver Girl, and adds a verse from a version of "Big Rock Candy Mountain" at the end.
