Milwaukee blues

Old Jay Gould's daughter said before she died
"Dad, you fix the blinds so the 'bos can ride"
Ride they must, so let them ride the rods
And they put their faith in the hands of God
The hands of God...
Hands of God...
Hands of God...
They put their faith in the hands of God"

Tuesday morning and it looked like rain
Around the curve come a passenger train
On the blinds is old Hobo Jones
He's a good old Hobo, but he's dead and gone
He's dead and gone...
Dead and gone...
Dead and gone...
He's a good old Hobo, but he's dead and gone

Yeah, Jay Gould's daughter said before she died
"Dad, there's two more drinks I'd like to try"
"Tell me, daughter, what can they be?"
"It's a glass o' water and a cup o'tea"
A cup o'tea...
Cup o'tea...
Cup o'tea...
It's a glass o' water and a cup o'tea

Friday morning and it looked like rain
Around the curve come a passenger train
On the blinds is old Hobo Jones
He's a good old Hobo and he wants to get home
He wants to get home...
Just tryin' to get home...
He's a good old Hobo and he's tryin' to get home
