Laying around this little town smoking those nice cigars
Waiting for a handout just to catch an empty car
Just as a freight train came rolling by, my wait was all in vain
Back off, back off, you dirty bum and get yourself the next freight train
So if you wanna be a little friend of mine, bring it with you when you come
Laying around this little town, your head chock full of rum
I came downtown, for to get a little sap
Boy, whatcha ain't sitting on another man's lap
If you wanna be a little friend of mine, bring it with you when you come
Well they put me off in Texas, a place that I do love
Wide open spaces around me, the moon and stars above
But nobody seems to want me now, or lend me no helping hand
I'm on my way, I'm leaving today, I'm headed for the promised land
So if you wanna be a little friend of mine, bring it with you when you come
Laying around this little town, your head chock full of rum
I came downtown, for to get a little sap
Boy, whatcha ain't sitting on another man's lap
If you wanna be a little friend of mine, bring it with you when you come
So if you wanna be a little friend of mine, bring it with you when you come
Laying around this little town, your head chock full of rum
I came downtown, for to get a little sap
Boy, whatcha ain't sitting on another man's lap
If you wanna be a little friend of mine, bring it with you when you come
