Did I tell you the story of the 4/4 troubadour
|
The traveling tramp
|
Or the barefoot bum?
|
Did I tell you the story of the carefree gypsy
|
The hitching hobo
|
The rich man's son?
|
|
Last seen hitching down the Whitehorse Highway
|
Picking on a guitar
|
And waiting on a ride
|
He'd been running on steam since he was sixteen
|
Now the Daddy wants to see the boy before he dies
|
|
Did I tell you the story of the poor man's daughter
|
Of the poor man's lover
|
Of the poor man's ward?
|
Did I tell you the story of the poor man's hired hand?
|
She keeps his house for her room and board
|
|
Last seen hitching at the edge of town
|
With a sign that said
|
"Anywhere but here"
|
Now she never found a job where she was not fired
|
But she never found a town where she was not hired
|
