  • Well I woke up this morning
    With the cold water
    With the cold water
    With the cold water
    Woke up this morning
    With the cold water
    With the cold water
    With the cold
    Police at the station
    And they don't look friendly
    Well they don't look friendly
    Well they don't look friendly
    Police at the station
    And they don't look friendly
    They don't look friendly well
    They don't
    Blind or crippled
    Sharp or dull
    I'm reading the Bible
    By a 40 watt bulb
    What price freedom
    Dirt is my rug
    Well I sleep like a baby
    With the snakes and the bugs
    Well the stores are open
    But I ain't got no money
    I ain't got no money
    Stores are open but I
    Ain't got no money
    Ain't got no money
    Well I ain't
    Found an old dog
    And he seems to like me
    Seems to like me
    Well he seems to like me
    Found an old dog and he
    Seems to like me
    Seems to like me
    Well he seems
    Seen them fellows
    with the card board signs
    Scrapin up a little $
    To buy a bottle of wine
    Pregnant women and
    The Vietnam vets I say
    Beggin on the freeway
    Bout as hard as it gets
    Well I slept in the graveyard
    It was cool and still
    Cool and still
    It was cool and still
    Slept in the graveyard
    It was cool and still
    Cool and still and it
    Was cool
    Slept all night in the Cedar grove
    I was born to ramble
    Born to rove
    Some men are searchin for the
    Holy Grail
    But there ain't nothin sweeter
    Than ridin the rails
    I LOOK 47 but I'm 24
    Well they shooed me away
    From here the time before
    Turned there their backs
    And they locked their doors
    I'm watching T.V. in
    The window of a furniture store
    Well I woke up this morning
    With the cold water
    With the cold water
    With the cold water
    Woke up this morning
    With the cold water
    With the cold water
    With the cold

    you know, I discovered Tom years ago around '85 and I was in the middle of a very physically and emotionally painful upheaval. But I see no reason that he would not appeal to someone who has never been though any of that. We all come from somewhere and to be human is to suffer. So if you dig Tom, cheers, there is plenty of time in life to suffer. But it is not required to dig on Waits.

    this is one of the songs he wrote during the making of the documentary "Long Gone" about train riding culture in the late 90's. He was asked to write the soundtrack and met a bunch of different infamous hobo's from the FTRA crew including Dogman Tony, Dante Fuqwa, Horizontal John, Joshua Long Gone, NY Slim and others. A bunch of those songs ended up on Mule Variations.

    Prine's Hobo is certainly up there with the best.
    The best version of The Big Rock Candy Mountain is from the Oh Brother soundtrack.

    @mysteria31 ... Oh, yes...It is true...Tom sings of where we all are that Groc his material...Tom is the slickest slang slasher in the industry, surpassing Dylan and all for content...thinking of his ensemble of hip street slang, strung together like "Our Gang"...Tom punches holes in our facades..leveling us to our common denominator...the experience of the street...now...I that is the main call...he nails the scene so perfectly...examples a plenty..."Don't by roses on the streets" Know this???
