Subject: RE: Songs about the homeless
"May I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight, Mister?". I haven't checked the database to see if it is there. I can post lyrics if it's not. Also, "Bring Me Back My Wandering Boy", "When Work's All Done This Fall", "The Baggage Coach Ahead", "Babes in the Woods", "The Black Sheep", "The Dreary Black Hills", "The Old Chisholm Trail", "Buffalo Skinners", "Bury Me Not On The Lone Prarie", "The Trail to Mexico", and,
"Whoopie Tie Yie Yo"...
last verse
I ain't got no father, I ain't got no mother,
My friends they all left me when first I did roam,
I ain't got no sisters, I ain't got no brothers,
I'm a poor lonesome cowboy, and a long way from home.
