The match struck blue on uh railroad rail
     The old puff horse was just pullin' thru
     'n uh' man wore uh peg leg forever
     I'm on the bum where the hoboes run
     The air breaks with filthy chatter
     Oh I don't care there's no place there
     I don't think it matters
     My skin's blazin' thru
     'n my clothes in tatters
     'n the railroad looks
     Like uh "Y" up the hill of ladders
     One shoe fell on the gravel
     One stick poked down
     Gray of age fell down on uh pair of ears
     An eagle shined thru my hole watch pocket
     Uh gingham girl baby girl
     Passed me by in tears
     Uh jack rabbit raised his folded ears
     Uh beautiful sagebrush jack rabbit
     'n an oriole sang like an orange
     His breast full uh worms
     'n his tail clawed the evenin' like uh hammer
     His wings took t' air like uh bomber
     'n my rain can caught me uh cup uh water
     When I got into town
     Odd jobs mam ah' yer horse I'll fodder
     I'm the round house man
     I once was yer father
     Uh little up the road uh wooden
     Candy stripe barber pole o
     'n above it read uh sign "painless parker"
     Licorice twisted around under uh fly
     'n uh youngster cocked 'er eye
     God before me if I'm not crazy
     Is my daughter
     Come little one with yer little
     ole dimpled fingers
     Gimme one 'n I'll buy you uh cherry phosphate
     Take you down t' the foamin' brine 'n water
     'n show you the wooden tits
     On the Goddess with the pole out full sail
     That tempted away yer peg legged father
     I was shanghied by uh high hat beaver mustache man
     'n his pirate friend
     I woke up in vomit 'n beer in uh banana bin
     'n uh soft lass with brown skin
     Bore me seven babies with snappin black eyes
     'n beautiful ebony skin
     'n here it is I'm with you my daughter
     Thirty years away can make uh seaman's eyes
     Uh round house man's eyes flow out water
     Salt water
