There's just two more drinks I'd like to try"... Fireman said,"What can they be?"... "A cool cup of water and a warm cup of tea"...... The verse is something like .. One Sunday morning early and fine..An old freight train came down the line... Sitting on the back was Old Bill Jones ... He's a good old hobo and he wants to go home..... .... Has anyone out there got the full lyrics and/or midi link. Sorcha, mon amour, I'll leave it in your hands. |

Variant, also Charlie Poole. The verses follow those in the DT but with the added lines at the end which continue the words of the 4th line. From "The Long Steel Rail, Norm Cohen, p. 385-389. As members of this group of related songs, Norm Cohen lists Jay Gould's Daughter, Jay Gould, Hobo John, Ramblin' John, Old John Brown, Charlie Snyder, and Casey Jones. Also Jimmie Jones. The Forum should have a lot of comment on this group of songs. "Since Gould owned the MP between 1879 and 1892, however, we can assign an approximate date to the Jay Gould ditties" -Norm Cohen. |
