I just recently rejuvenated some cassettes that I made some years ago in an effort to be able to play what music I have on 45's in the vehicle. One song that I never really could tell what the words were was in Billy Grammar's "Gotta Travel On". Is it hopparags to Johnny, Pauper rags to Johnny, or what? If someone can help unravel this age old mystery for me I shall have a happy from now on!
