The "blind" is an
enclosed box beyond the coal car where
crews sleep, like sleeper cabs on
18-wheelers
TEXT:
D
One Tuesday morning and it looked like rain
A7
Round the curve come a passenger train
D
On the blind sat old Bill Jones
D A7 D
He's a good old hobo and he's tryin' to get
home
G D
Tryin' to get home, he's tryin' to get
home
D A7 D
He's a good old hobo and he's tryin'
to get home
Way down in Georgia on a tramp
Roads are gettin' muddy and my legs are
gettin' damp
I got to catch a freight train to leave this town
'Cause they don't allow no
hobos a-hangin' around.
I left Atlanta one morning 'fore day
The brakeman said,
"You'll have to pay."
Got no money but I pawned my shoes
I want to go west, got the
Milwaukee blues
Old Bill Jones said before he died,
"Fix the roads so the folks can
ride
When they ride they will ride the rods
Put all their trust in the hands of
God.
Old Bill Jones said before he died
There's two more roads that he'd like to
ride
Fireman said what can it be?
Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fee.
