@hotwirehenry a cross tie is the wooden piece sitting on the balast rock and holds the rails on the tracks down with the aid of spikes and a cross tie walker is a hobo who walks on the cross ties ,as are flatcar riders ,chooglin on down to new orleans of course. hope this helps...
Always loved this song the most, even more than Green River. It's such a catchy tune. A friend of mine helped John get started in the business. His name was Kenai, and was also Janis's road manager, in the 60's. He just passed away a few years ago. He also was a part of the 'Medicine ball Caravan'.
@airborne022: ... let's say among the best they made and there's many of them .... They've been unrivalled to this day and without John going solo there would be no one doing such great music today.
I remember walking the cross ties with friends when I was young. I always hated it because I'm a short person. It was hard to walk on the ties because short legs don't reach that far. One step on a tie, one step in the rocks between the ties. I was more like a cross tie hopper than a cross tie walker. CROSS TIE HOPPER -- I should write a song about that.
@australianphoenix This tunes video shows the CPR Railroad, my home town of P. La. P, MB is where the CPR and CNR switch directions.They actually cross lines CNR nows goes north and Cpr goes south Neat eh lol
Years ago I used to walk the "ties" with my kid brother and cousin. We'd throw the rocks to try to break insulators! Something just about every boy did. Nowadays you'd be called a juvenile delinquent and the parents would be sued and/or thrown in jail. I miss the old days.

CCR had such a fresh and innocent sound with all the junk going on in the late 60's. They were the best crossover band of their time.

Creo que "cress tie" es algo así como puente y "walker" se refiere a las personas que pasan por ellos pero no me convence mucho tampoco.
