This song is recorded on dickie lee erwin's Texas Midnight Highway album

I hear a friend in New Mexico sing it and he said he wrote it . . so I performed it for several years and then one evening in Austin, Tex. Rich Brotherton came up to stage and said, "it was great to hear that Dick Penny song, Motherlode"! Will I had been calling it "Beggars" for 10 years . . . ! Anyway, if you can get your hands on this C.D. the lyrics are on it. It's a pretty hard driving country version.
