Hi

I've try to transcribe the lyrics of the song Bum on the bum from Ramblin' Red Lowery. You can find it on Youtube. There's some parts missing. Any help would be great! Thanks in advanced!

I’m a bum on the bum, I travelled around
All over this country just making the town
If you don’t believe me just look up my name
You'll find it in boxcars all over the train

Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum        bum bum bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum        Bum bum bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum        Bum bum bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.    bum bum

I went from Seattle to the coast of Maine
Bid all of my riding on a old freight train
Then to the South and back to the West
Without even taking a bit of a rest                

Didn’t have any money not even a dime
I just got                   and spending my time
I’m looking for work for it hard to find
I just got having all wonderful time                

I’ve bum all my meals and also my cloths
Been many a day since I wore any hoes
                   are past and my shirt is all tore
My head is all ragged and my shoes are all worn        

Slept in a Pullman with          on the side
I’ve slept in places that I have to hide
Slept in                I lay on the bed
And when the rain came I surely get                    

Come all you young fellers, take warning from this
Don’t go on the bum just looking for
                         sure find out
You get so lazy you’ll die with the

Martin: Could you post a link to the exact video where "Bum on the Bum" is found? Because I'm failing to find it.

(There may be some confusion--when I search for "Ramblin' Red Lowery" it keeps turning up other songs by various other people called "Ramblin' Red" whatever.

P.S. there is an amazing number of videos of various idiots getting shot in the bum by darts, tasers, what-have-you.)

If you don't know how to make links, never mind, just copy and paste the URL.

I couldn't find it, either, Jim....and looking for "bum on the bum" was a little harsh on the eyes...

It tells me "video unavailable".

No indication of why.
