Son Of The Tramp Iron Railroad (Larry W Jones 03/28/2017) (song #7106)

Well, I was born in Costa Mesa by the railroad track
Mama gave birth in a tar papered shack
And by the time I was fourteen I lived like twenty one
Cause I learned how to survive on my own

Now, my Daddy was a hobo, so that’s what I’ve been told
Mama never saw the love she was owed
I’ve ridden these old rusty rails until now I am old
I’m just a Son of the tramp iron railroad

People call be a hobo whenever I’m in their town
They walk the other way when I’m around
I know just what they’re thinking and what was on me bestowed
Another son of the tramp iron railroad

(Instrumental)
