Walkin' Bum

Airplanes don't go there

Freight trains don't go there

Greyhound don't go there

Or anywhere near there

You're gonna have to walk

Might have to stick out your thumb

'Cause the people 'round these parts, child

They don't want to pick up a walking bum

I didn't want to go there

Made me go there

I was looking for a job

I didn't find no job

Now I'm gonna have to walk

Might have to stick out my thumb

'Cause the people 'round these parts, child

Don't want to pick up a walking bum

Well I'm walking in the rain

And I'm walking in the sun

And I'm a long way from home

And I'm a walking bum

And I'm gonna get by

Any way that I can

These rocks and stones hurt my feet

This walking bum is still a man

Hm-huh

Airplanes don't go there

Freight trains don't go there

Greyhound don't run there

Or anywhere even near there

Now you're gonna have to walk

Might have to stick out your thumb

(They want nothing to do with no walking bum)

'Cause the people 'round these parts, child

They want nothing to do with no walking bum

And that's what I am

'Cause the people 'round these parts, child

They don't want to pick up a walking bum

That's what I am (walking bum)
