Good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, my favorite Beatle song is still "Yesterday".

Well, erstwhile turtle, two wheel vehicles were always my mode of transportation as a kid. I need to recycle the best exercise of all and start riding again.

Here's a song redone by an idol called Bo Bice. (got his nickname from Bogart). Not certain if there is an implication or allusion to other things in this song, listeners.

Bo Bice
Vehicle

Hey, well I'm the friendly stranger in the black sedan
Oh won't you hop inside my car
I got pictures, got candy, I am a lovable man
I'd like to take you to the nearest star

I'm your vehicle baby
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I'm your vehicle woman
By now I'm sure you know
That I love ya (love you)
I need ya (need you)
I want to, got to have you child
Great God in heaven, you know I love you

Well if you want to be a movie star
I got the ticket to Hollywood
Well if you want to stay just like you are
You know I think you really should

I'm your vehicle baby
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I'm your vehicle woman
By now I'm sure you know
That I love ya (love you)


I need ya (need you)
I want to, got to have you child
Great God in heaven, you know I love you
Oh you know I do

Well I'm the friendly stranger in the black sedan
Oh won't you hop inside my car
I got pictures, candy, I am a lovable man
I'd like to take you to the nearest star

I'm your vehicle babe
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I'm your vehicle woman
By now I'm sure you know
That I love ya (love you)
I need ya (need you)
I want to, I got to have ya
Great God in heaven, you know I love you
And I'm your vehicle babe

You know I love ya (love you)
I need ya (need you)
I want to, got to have you child
Great God in heaven, you know I love you

Poor Side Of Town
Johnny Rivers

[Written J Rivers and L Adler]

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

How can you tell me how much you miss me
When the last time I saw you
You wouldn't even kiss me
That rich guy you've been seein'
Must have put you down
So welcome back baby
To the poor side of town

To him you were nothin' but a little plaything
Not much more than an overnight fling
To me you were the greatest thing
This boy had ever found
And girl it's hard to find nice things
On the poor side of town

I can't blame you for tryin'
I'm tryin' to make it too
I've got one little hang up baby
I just can't make it without you

So tell me, are you gonna stay now
Will you stand by me girl all the way now
With you by my side
They can't keep us down
Together we can make it baby
From the poor side of town

(So tell me how much you love me)
(Come be near to me and say you need me now)

Oh, with you by my side
This world can't keep us down
Together we can make it baby
From the poor side of town

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

Good morning, Texas. Well, buddy, you sent me to the archives once again. Didn't think I knew Johnny Rivers, but I guess I do, 'cause I found this familiar song.

Artist: Johnny Rivers
Song: Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu


I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall
I wanna holler but the joint's too small
Young man river's got a hold of me too
I've got the rockin pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Calls another baby, that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall
Young man river's got a hold of me too
I've got the rockin pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be running but my feet's too slow
Young man river's got a hold of me too
I've got the rockin pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

-freakin awesome piano solo-

I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be running but my feet's too slow
Young man river's got a hold of me too
I've got the rockin pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Baby's coming now I'm running home
I know she's leavin cause I'm takin too long
Young man river's got a hold of me too
I've got the rockin pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

When I first heard a record by Johnny Rivers, I thought, "He has an easy way with a song, but not enough of what it takes to be a long time surviver in the game." Turns out, I was wrong. He's had a string of hits over, possibly, 30 years.

Nice to be wrong sometimes, edgar.

Lots of people have been talking about Eddie Murphy and his performance in the Nutty Professor. In searching, Jerry Lewis did that movie first. I cannot believe what I found out about Jerry and his health problems.

Does this tell us anything, folks?



It seems that many folks didn't think Jerry was a very nice guy.

Remember this group?

Gary Lewis and the Playboys.



If you need someone to count on, count me in
Someone you can rely on through thick and thin
When you start to count the ones that you might ever doubt
If you think of counting me, count me out

When you count the ones that want you, count me too
And if I'm not first on your list, count me blue
Just be sure you count on me, and when the counting's through
Count me madly in love with you

If you need someone to count on when you're down
And all your other friends you've lost, count me found
Just be sure you count on me when you're down and out
Count me in through thick and thin or it don't count

When you count the ones that want you, count me too
And if I'm not first on your list, count me blue
Just be sure you count on me, and when the counting's through
Count me madly in love with you.

A belated happy birthday greeting to our friend George. I hope you were in the company of a plethora of frivolous friends to ease the burden of another year added to the burden of those you had already acquired. Best wishes are extended for a healthy and happy future.

John McIntire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


John McIntire (June 27, 1907 - January 30, 1991) was an American character actor.

The craggly-faced film actor was born in Spokane, Washington and raised in Montana, growing up with ranchers and cowboys which would eventually inspire his performances in dozens of westerns later in life. The USC graduate began his acting career in radio and on stage.

McIntire began his long movie career in 1947 often playing roles as police chiefs, judges and sometimes crazy coots. His films include the film noir classic The Asphalt Jungle (1950) and his last film playing a crazy dog owner in Turner & Hooch (1989). He also played movie villains in westerns, some of which are considered the best films of the genre; Winchester '73 (1950) and The Tin Star (1957) in which he was not a villain but a country doctor. On television, he appeared in The Naked City (his character was killed off) and played the wagon master on Wagon Train in 1961, and replaced actor Lee J. Cobb on The Virginian in 1967.

McIntire married fellow actor Jeanette Nolan, in 1935, and they had two children together, one of whom was the actor Tim McIntire who starred in the 1978 film American Hot Wax. He also played the brief but memorable role of Sheriff Al Chambers in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960), in which Nolan read some of Mother's lines and also did some voice-over screaming. McIntire worked more closely with Jeanette Nolan in Disney's 1977 The Rescuers, where he had voiced the cat Rufus and she, the muskrat Ellie Mae].

John McIntire died from emphysema and lung cancer in 1991. He was 83 years old.

Thanks, Bob.

Bob Keeshan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Robert James Keeshan (June 27, 1927 - January 23, 2004) was an American actor who played the original "Clarabell the Clown" on the Howdy Doody television program. He is most famous as the star and title character of the children's show Captain Kangaroo.

Keeshan was born in Lynbrook, New York, and attended Fordham University after serving in the United States Marine Corps reserve during World War II. He later became an honorary member of Dartmouth College's Class of 1942.

On Howdy Doody, Keeshan played "Clarabell", a silent clown who mainly communicated by honking horns attached to a belt around his waist (one of the horns meant "yes"; the other horn meant "no"). Clarabell often spritzed Buffalo Bob Smith with a seltzer bottle and played practical jokes.

Keeshan played the children's show host Captain Kangaroo for over three decades. Frequently recurring characters included Mr. Green Jeans (played by Hugh "Lumpy" Brannum), and puppets such as "Bunny Rabbit" and "Mr. Moose." He also had a Saturday morning show called Mister Mayor during the 1964-65 season.





After Captain Kangaroo

After Captain Kangaroo ended, Keeshan hosted 1985's CBS Storybreak, which featured animated versions of children's literature. Keeshan appeared in framing sequences for the animated stories, showcasing the book versions and suggesting similar books for the viewers to seek out.

In 1987, Keeshan founded Corporate Family Solutions with former Tennessee Republican Governor Lamar Alexander. The company provided day-care programs to businesses.

Keeshan lived on Melbury Road in Babylon Village, Long Island, New York before moving to spend the last 14 years of his life in Vermont, where he became a children's advocate as well as an author. His memoirs, entitled Good Morning, Captain, were published in 1995 by Fairview Press.

Keeshan was a strong advocate against video game violence and took part in the congressional hearings in 1993.

Keeshan died in Windsor, Vermont, at the age of 76 of natural causes. He was survived by 3 children. His wife of 40 years, Anne Jeanne Laurie Keeshan, had died in 1990.


Awards

Keeshan received many awards, including:

Five Emmy Awards (1978, 1981-1984)
Three Peabody Awards (1958, 1972, 1979)
National Education Award, 1982
Kennedy Center Honors, 1987
Induction into the Clown Hall of Fame, 1990
American Medical Association Distinguished Service Award, 1991
Induction into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame, 1998

Trivia

Bob Keeshan's grandson, Britton Keeshan, became the youngest person at the time to climb the Seven Summits when he summited Mount Everest in May 2004. He did so carrying photos of his grandfather, and buried a photo of the two of them at the summit of Everest ([1]).
An internet rumor purports that Lee Marvin appeared on "The Tonight Show" and said he had served in the Marine Corps fighting alongside Keeshan at the Battle of Iwo Jima. There is no truth to this tale. Marvin never told the story, never served on Iwo Jima (having been invalided out after the battle of Saipan months earlier), and Keeshan never saw combat in any form, having enlisted just before the end of the war.

Isabelle Yasmine Adjani (born June 27, 1955 in Paris' 17th arrondissement) is a César Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated French film actress. She is of German-Algerian parentage, and performs in her native French, English, and German. She has been nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Actress and was awarded the César award four times.





Biography

Early life

Adjani grew up in Gennevilliers, Hauts-de-Seine to Mohammed Adjani and a German Augusta Gusti. She was drawn to acting at a young age, playing in amateur theater by the age of twelve. As a fourteen-year-old, she appeared in her first motion picture.[citation needed]


Career

She first gained fame as a classical actress for her interpretation of Agnès, the main female role in Molière's L'École des femmes, but soon left the Comédie française she had joined in 1972 to pursue a movie career. After minor roles in several films, she received positive reviews and much public acclaim for her performance in the 1974 film La Gifle (or The Slap)[citation needed]. The following year, she was cast in her first starring role in François Truffaut's The Story of Adele H. which resulted in a nomination for the Best Actress Oscar and offers for rôles in Hollywood films.

In 1981, Adjani received the Cannes Film Festival's best actress award for the Merchant Ivory film Quartet based on the novel by Jean Rhys, and for the horror film Possession. Next year, she received her first César award for Possession, in which she portrays a frustrated woman going mad. In 1983, she won the César, for her depiction of a vengeful woman in the French blockbuster One Deadly Summer.

In 1989, she co-produced and starred in a biopic of the tragic French sculptor Camille Claudel. She received her third César and second Oscar nomination for her role in the film, which was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Following this publicity, she was chosen by People magazine as one of the '50 Most Beautiful People' in the world. Her fourth César win was for the 1994 film Queen Margot, an ensemble epic directed by Patrice Chéreau.


Personal life

Adjani has two sons: Barnabé Nuytten with Bruno Nuytten, and Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis from her six-year relationship with Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis. Gabriel-Kane was born in New York City in 1995, several months after her relationship with Day-Lewis ended.

Adjani was also engaged to French composer Jean Michel Jarre, but they broke up publicly in 2004.[1] In 1987, some French media outlets incorrectly reported that she was dying of AIDS, forcing her to appear on television to deny it.[2]

Santa Monica, California
Years active 1989 - Present

Tobias Vincent Maguire (born June 27, 1975) is an American actor. He began his career in the 1990s, and has since become best known for his role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the Spider-Man film series.





Early life

Maguire was born in Santa Monica, California. His father, Vincent Maguire, was a construction worker and a cook. His mother, Wendy Brown, is a secretary turned screenwriter and producer.[1] His parents were 18 and 20 years old, and unmarried, at the time of his birth; the two married and subsequently divorced when Maguire was two. Maguire spent much of his childhood moving from town to town, living with each parent and other family members.[2] During his childhood, Maguire entertained the idea of becoming a chef and to that end wanted to enroll in a Home Economics class as a sixth grader. His mother offered him $100 USD to take a drama class instead, and Tobey agreed.[3]

The nomadic nature of his school-age years began to take a toll on Maguire emotionally, and finally, after yet another relocation to yet another school, Maguire dropped out of his freshman year of high school and never returned, deciding to focus himself on his blossoming acting career.[4] By 2000, Maguire had taken the GED to officially graduate from high school, noting that during his high school days, he'd reached a point where "I wasn't doing school. I was showing up, but...not really giving myself."[5]


Early career

Maguire's first appearance in a feature film was in the 1989 movie The Wizard. In that movie, he played a goon of Lucas Barton, one of three competitors at a video game competition, and had no lines. Maguire initially worked as a child actor in the early 1990s, often playing roles much younger than his chronological age; as late as 2002, Maguire was still playing teenagers while in his mid-20s. He appeared in a variety of commercials and TV and movie roles, working opposite such stars as Chuck Norris (Walker, Texas Ranger), Roseanne Barr (Roseanne), and Tracey Ullman (Tracey Takes On...). Eventually, Maguire was cast as the lead in the FOX TV series Great Scott, which was cancelled 5 weeks later.

During many of his auditions, Maguire found himself competing opposite another rising child star actor, Leonardo DiCaprio. The pair struck up a fast friendship and made an informal pact for each to help get the other one a part in their movies/TV shows/other projects. For example, both auditioned for the same part in the 1990 TV series Parenthood; DiCaprio got the part, and Maguire later got a guest role at least partially due to DiCaprio's recommendation. The same scenario played itself out during casting for the 1993 Robert DeNiro movie This Boy's Life; DiCaprio got the main teen role (ironically, the character was named "Toby") and Maguire got a part as one of Toby's friends.

By the mid 1990s, Maguire was steadily working but becoming caught up in the hard-partying lifestyle of some of his fellow teen actors. In 1995, Maguire requested director Allan Moyle to release him from his part in the movie Empire Records. Moyle agreed, and all of Tobey's scenes were deleted from the final film.[6] Maguire then sought help for an underaged drinking problem from Alcoholics Anonymous; he has been sober ever since.[7]

As part of his recovery from alcohol and learning to deal with his self-described "addictive and obsessive/compulsive nature"[8], Maguire changed his career path slightly in order to obtain roles where he and DiCaprio would not always be in competition for the same part, and the move paid off when he got the role of Paul Hood, a teenage boarding school student whose narration anchors the action in Ang Lee's 1997 film, The Ice Storm. This soon led to a variety of lead roles where he played a thoughtful boy coming of age, in films such as Pleasantville, The Cider House Rules, and Wonder Boys. He also played off his youthful-sounding voice in the 2001 children's movie Cats and Dogs, playing a beagle puppy named Lou.


Spider-Man

In 2002, Maguire shot to superstardom in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, based on the popular Marvel comic book series. He reprised the part in Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007).

Maguire's performance as Spider-Man initially earned him some glowing reviews. For instance, Mark Caro of the Chicago Tribune felt that "with his big, round, soulful eyes, Maguire always has been able to convey a sense of wonder, and his instinct for understatement also serves him well here".[9] Towards the third part of the franchise the actor experienced some backlash in the media. "For his part Mr. Maguire needs to stop relying on those great big peepers of his: simply widening your eyes to attract attention does not cut it when you're over 30", remarked Manohla Dargis of the New York Times in her review of Spider-Man-3.[10]

Though Maguire has not yet signed on for another sequel, the actor has denied reports that he will not return, stating, "I feel like the stories all deserve to be told, and, you know, if... the whole team wants to get back together, and we feel like we can make a good movie that's worth making, then I'm up for it."[11]


After Spider-Man

Maguire solidified his stardom in 2003 with a leading role as the jockey John M. "Red" Pollard in the acclaimed film Seabiscuit, about the famous United States' racehorse Seabiscuit. In 2006, Maguire starred in his first villainous role as Corporal Patrick Tully in Steven Soderbergh's The Good German based on the Joseph Kanon novel of the same name opposite George Clooney and Cate Blanchett.

Maguire has also moved into another realm of filmmaking, producing. Maguire's production credits include 25th Hour (2002), Whatever We Do (2003), and Seabiscuit (2003), for which he served as executive producer.


Personal life

Maguire has been engaged to jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer, daughter of Universal Studios COO Ron Meyer, since April 2006; the couple met in 2003 while Maguire was working on the movie Seabiscuit at Universal Studios, and soon began dating. They have a daughter named Ruby Sweetheart Maguire (born November 10, 2006).[12] Ruby's middle name comes from a childhood nickname of Meyer's given to her by her grandmother, who died a few months before Ruby's birth.

Maguire has been a vegetarian for over 14 years and is working toward a vegan diet, though he makes vegetarian changes in his diet either gain or lose weight for movie roles, like increasing his calorie intake.[13] On the subject of vegetarianism, Maguire notes that "I'm close to being a vegan, but I'm not one, technically. I don't eat eggs, or nearly any dairy--no cheese or milk. I do eat honey, and a piece of milk chocolate here and there[...]It's never really been that hard for me. I've never had any desire to eat meat. In fact, when I was a kid I would have a really difficult time eating meat at all. It had to be the perfect bite, with no fat or gristle or bone or anything like that. I don't judge people who eat meat--that's not for me to say--but the whole thing just sort of bums me out.[14]

In an article for Premiere Magazine, Sam Raimi confirmed the long-standing rumor that Maguire and his Spider-Man co-star Kirsten Dunst had "a thing" going on during the 2001 shooting of the first film. As Raimi explained for the article, "I'm so dumb, because I met with them for dinner one night during the shooting to talk about the next day's scenes. And I go, 'Okay, well, that's it for the meeting.' And then I ask Kirsten, 'Can I drive you home?' And they look at each other and she goes, 'No, no, I'm going to play a game of Touch 10 with Tobey.' I don't know, it was some game. I thought, 'That's weird. She's got to work tomorrow.'"[15]

In 2004, Maguire took up tournament poker. He has finished in the money in several events and has been tutored by poker professional Daniel Negreanu. Maguire can be seen on ESPN's coverage of the 2005 and 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event Championship.

Maguire loves playing basketball; he often plays pick-up games with friends (as described by author James Crotty of the alternative online travel site Monk.Com)[16] and organizes a weekly game on Saturdays when he's both in Los Angeles and not filming a movie that day.[17] He also enjoys watching basketball games, especially the Los Angeles Lakers, and can often be seen with fiancée Jennifer Meyer at courtside for Laker home games. As a baby gift, comedienne Ellen DeGeneres gave Maguire a special basketball motif stroller with Lexan dome to protect Ruby from errant basketballs so that the new family could enjoy the Lakers together.[18]

In the same interview with DeGeneres, Maguire confessed to being a big fan of American Idol and particularly expressed appreciation for the talent of contestant Blake Lewis. Two weeks before the finale, he predicted that the final two would be Blake and Jordin Sparks, who eventually went on to become the final pair.[19]


Comic book references to Maguire

In Ultimate Spider-Man #54-59 (Hollywood), an unauthorized film is in production about Spider-Man with Doctor Octopus as the main villain. The film's male lead Tobey Maguire, Bruce Campbell, director Sam Raimi and Marvel-movie head Avi Arad appear in cameo roles.

When the writers of the Spider-Girl comic book series first introduced the character of Reilly Tyne/Darkdevil, he is described by Peter Parker in the comic as looking "just like Tobey Maguire", a deliberate nod to Maguire's involvement in the Spider-Man films. Deadpool, who often breaks the fourth wall, recapped the events of the ongoing Marvel Civil War in Cable & Deadpool #31, saying, "And the Boy Scout branch made a big show of cooperating, by having Spider-Man reveal his identity on national TV... as if we hadn't seen the movies already and didn't know it was dreamy doe-eyed Tobey Maguire under the mask!"

In Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #12 Spider-Man/Peter is quoted as saying to the Principal "Well You Want Acting...Go Get Tobey Maguire", a nod to him being played by Tobey in the movies.

The Hands That Built America


Oh my love
It's a long way we've come
From the freckled hills to the steel and glass canyons
From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky
From digging in our pockets, for a reason not to say goodbye

These are the hands, that build America.
Ahhhh America.

I last saw your face in a watercolour sky
As sea birds argued a long goodbye
I took your kiss on the spray of the new line star
You gotta live with your dreams
Don't make them so hard, ohh ohh.

And these are the hands, that built America.
Ahhhh America.

Of all of the promises
Is this one we could keep?
Of all of the dreams
Is this one still out of reach?

Halle, Ole

It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York sky line.
Innocence, dragged across a yellow line.

These are the hands that built America.
These are the hands that built America.
Ahhhh America.
Ahhhh America.

She Bop

We-hell-I see them every night in tight blue jeans -
In the pages of a blue boy magazine
Hey I've been thinking of a new sensation
I'm picking up - good vibration -
Oop - she bop

Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop - or I'll go blind
Oop - she bop - she bop

She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,
I hope He will understand
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,
Oo--oo--she--do--she bop--she bop

(whistle along here)...

Hey, hey - they say I better get a chaperone
Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone
No, I won't worry, and I won't fret
Ain't no law against it yet
Oop - she bop - she bop

She bop - he bop - we bop...

Cyndi Lauper

Hey, Rex. Welcome back. Had a great Maine lobster dinner the other evening, and I had forgotten how much I miss it.

Here's another from Cyndi...

Artist: Cyndi Lauper
Song: Ballad of cleo & joe
Album: Sisters Of Avalon


Every day the clock kicks off the beat.
Little joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
Waits in his platforms for the right train to come.
Sipping his coffee another day has begun ...

Little joe got work for minimum wage.
Tries to get through another dead beat day.
At five o'clock he comes home to change,
Takes him many hours just to rearrange...

And he works his body just to be somebody.
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream.
And he works his body...
And he feels somebody...
And the working boy becomes a dancing queen.

Every night the dj kicks off the beat.
Little cleo's jumping just to get up on her feet.
Waits in her platforms for the right song to come.
Sipping her cocktail another night has begun.

And he works his body just to be somebody.
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream.
And he works his body...
And he feels somebody...
And the working boy becomes a dancing queen.

Every morning the clock kicks off the beat.
Little joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
Waits in his platforms for the right train to come...

Jerry Lee Lewis - Shake Rattle And Roll


Get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
You get out of that bed woman, wash your face and hands
Roll out my breakfast 'cause the Killer's a hungry man

I'm like a one eyed cat, peeping in a sea food store
Just like a one eyed cat, peeping in a sea food store
I can look at you pretty momma, tell you don't foolin' me no more
Give it to me now!

I said shake rattle and roll
Shake rattle and roll
Shake rattle and roll
Shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do nothin'
To save your doggone soul
Yeah!

You're wearin' those dresses, and the sun'll come a-shinin' through
You're wearin' dresses woman, the sun come shinin' through
I don't know in the world what Jerry Lee gonna do with you
Yeah!


I believed in my soul you're the devil and now I know
I believed in my soul you're the devil and now I know
You know, the harder I work, faster my money goes

I said shake rattle and roll
Shake rattle and roll
Shake rattle and roll
Shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do right
To save your doggone soul

I said shake rattle and roll
Shake rattle and roll
Shake rattle and roll
Shake rattle and roll
Well you won't do nothin'
To save your doggone soul

(Shake rattle and roll)
Shake it baby!
(Shake rattle and roll)
Give it to me!
(Shake rattle and roll)
Gotta have it!
(Shake rattle and roll)

Jerry Lee Lewis - Waiting For A Train


All around the water tank, waiting for a train
I'm a thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain
I walked up to a brakeman, just to make a line of talk
He said "Son, if you've got money, I'll see that you don't walk"
"Well I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show"
"Well get off, get off you railroad bum" He slammed the boxcar door


Well he put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me, the moon and stars above
My pocketbook is empty, my old heart is filled with pain
I'm one thousand miles away from home and I'm waitin' for a train
