Billy,
the bum lived by the thumb
And sang of the hobo's delight
Twice as fast as the sun

Now he loved every girl
In this curly headed world

But no one will know it seems
For two twisted legs and

Left Billy just a bum in his dreams

lived all alone in a run down home

Near the side of the old railroad track
Where the trains used to run
Carryin' freight by the ton

Blow the whistle as Billy'd wave back
But the children around

Seemed to have nothin' better to do
Then run around his house

With their tongues from their mouth

Make fun of that crippled old fool

and some folks they pray

For Jesus to rise up again
But none of these folks in their holy cloaks
