Weary Willy - The Bum Song

old hobo standard...LOTS of words and cool bum slang. Also recorded by Harry "haywire" McClintock who sings Bum Song No.2 which is an extension of the original and isequally compelling. It's early in the morning and the dew is off the ground the bum arises from his nest and gazes all around. From the boxcars and the haystacks he gazes every-where he nevert uns back upon his tracks until he gets a square....meal that is.

They come from different sources. This one I learned off an old Perfect 78 but British Archive of Country Music released an excellent Harry Mcclintock CD that contains this song . Chain Gang Blues is on Fremeaux et Associes Hillbilly Blues 1928-1946. All of Dock Boggs material is still in print. The Vester Jones material is out of print but may be available for download off the intrernet. Most of the material comes from CD reissues. Thanks for listening and providing positive feedback!
