Johnny Bond - Giddy Up Hobo lyrics
R- The highways that wind and wonder across this lonesome land can sure get weary sometimes especially when you get a flat on the old diesel. I was barreling down old 77 one day and I just past a hobo who’d given me the thumb. And I gave him the thumb back and kept going. And wouldn’t you know it about a quarter of a mile further I pulled up on the shoulder with a flat on the right rear and as I stood there shaking my head, uttering some profane syllables the hobo walked up to me and said to me: J-”Have a flat?” R- “No thanks I got one” J- “It ain’t to bad it’s only flat on the bottom” R- Oh brother you could tell this guy been out of circulation for a long time J- “What you going to about it” R- “Well I was just going to look for a man to help me fix it” J- “Good, I’ll help you, eh, look for him” R- “How about you” J- “Yea, how about me” R- “What I mean is how about you give me a hand” J- “I’d like to help you buddy but I’m to light for heavy work, and too heavy for light work” R- “And too lazy” J- “Well that might fit in there some place” R- “Well thanks a lot I’ll fix it myself” J- “And I’ll supervise the job! Say old buddy how about giving me a dime for a piece of cake” R- “Well if that don’t beat all, and it’s cake you want?” J- “Well today’s my birthday” R- “Help me fix this flat and I’ll buy you a full dinner” J- “Ok, you got a deal, but let me ah see the menu first” R- “Look buster, you know hard work won’t kill you” J- “I don’t know… I lost several wives that way” R- “Come on now you look strong enough to work” J- “And you look handsome enough to be a movie star, but I see you’re pushing this old diesel” R- “AH, Surely you must have done some work” J- “Oh yeah I’ve worked now and then” R- “What do you do?” J- “This and that” R- “Where abouts” J- “Here and there” R- “I see” J- “Now when you going to give me that dime?” R- “Sooner or later” J- “You can kid me if you wanta but I can tell you one thing. I wouldn’t change places with I guy who had a million bucks” R- “How about 5 million” J- “Not even 5 million” R- “How about 10 million” J- “Not even, well now that’s different you’re talking real doe” R- “Now look here you no good mangy knock kneed bow legged bald headed two bit hobo” J- “Who you calling bow legged” R- “Now look you’re going to help me fix this flat or I’m gona break your” J- “Careful chum you’ll bend the suit” R- “Now for the last time are you or ain’t you” J- “You get so excited, ok I’ll help you. Let me take a look at that tire. Hmm, just as I thought that ain’t no blow out just a slow leak, hand me that tire pump” R- And friends if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I wouldn’t have believed it. That tramp took that pump and with one hand mind you pumped that big tire full of air in no time J- “Well, what do you know, no flat” R- “Partner I want to thank you, hop in the cab and at the next stop we make I’ll buy you the biggest stake and the best cake they’ve got in the house” J- “Sounds like a winner” R- “Just one thing thou, I noticed you only used one hand on that tire pump? How come?” J- “Oh, I don’t know except this arm’s broke” R- “Broke!” J- “Just a little bit” R- “Oh, I’m sorry old buddy, how did it happen?” J- “Well it was like this, I got a hold of this copy of the Playboy magazine” R- “yea” J- “And I thought it was Sears and Roebuck catalog” R- “Go on” J- “And I broke my arm filling out order blanks” R- “Ah no, come on lets hit the road” |
