(I was traveling through South Americas
Walked up to a lady's house
Called her "grandma"
Didn't know her name
She give me something to cat
Walked on down the road
I heard a old train getting off like this:
I heard a old bell ring kinda like this:
I went on down and I heard a old whistle blow
I heard it say:)
Look-a-yonder
Look-a-yonder
At the women
At the women
(I went on, then I began to sing to the engineer:)
Mr. Engineer
let a man ride the blind
Mr. Engineer
let a poor man ride the blind
Said, I wouldn't mind it, fella
but you know this train ain't mine
(I begin to hear that old fella blowing longs and shorts
Here the way he blowed:
Then I begin to sing to him one more time:)
You's a cruel fireman
low down engineer
You's a cruel fireman
low down engineer
I'm trying to hobo my way
and you leave me standing here
(Then I goes on to follow him and begin to sing Poor Boy to him
And he begin to smile in my face:)
Get up fella
ride all around the world
Get up fella
ride all around the world
Poor boy
you ain't got no girl
(Then I begin to hear him tell me about those cheese and eggs
How he wanted 'cm fixed
Heard him say:)
Scrambled down
Scrambled do-own
Scrambled down
(Then I begin to hear him tell me about them cheese and eggs
I heard him say:)
Cheese
Eggs
Dinner
Dinner
(Then I begin to hear him tell me about Emery:)
love you Emery
I love you true
I love you Emerald
Tell the world I do
Em
