Hi, What does "go his bond" mean? I'm from Spain

[bostonteabagger71739]

@cortasetas hi cortasetas. a bond is a fee that a person pays to get out of jail while they are waiting for their trial. so he was saying that he couldnt get anybody to pay for his release from jail. hope that helps.

Thanks a lot, I love this kind of music, this is one of the reasons we, europeans, like America.

this is culture

He could get a white man in town to go his bond? That's hard as fuck.

[Horwellston]

This is one of the songs that made me cry. Oh my god, the dreamy mandolin and the harmonica is like crying. didn't hear all the lyrics but I could hear enough.

[Horwellston]

it was on a cd of harmonica blues. remember walking along the path listening on the cd walkman and crying into a woolly hat.

this is hard and raw
