Hey, Me I'm Riding
I remember the smell of the (?) line when my daddy worked the WPA
I remember the night my little brother died and my daddy just walked away
But I can’t say I really blame him and it wasn’t cause he never tried
He just stayed too long in the same place and he never got a chance to ride
Chorus:
Hey, me I’m riding and never gonna walk no more
Hey, me I’m riding and never gonna walk no more
Saturday night down in Birmingham stoned with the hobo Jack
He fell off the train and I stole his shoes and I never did gave ‘em back
And I don’t think he ever blame me when he caught pneumonia and died
He just stayed too long in the same place and he never got a chance to ride
Chorus
When the grass was green and the earth was warm I met Sarah-Jane
A hard luck girl in a family way and so I caught me a train
But I don’t think she ever blame me cause a lot of other fellas lied
She just stayed too long in the same place and he never got a chance to ride
Chorus
