Young boy he left
his house went west
Walked on train tracks
never looked back
Came to a long bridge
over troubled water
Jumped in can't swim
dreamt of the farmer's daughter
Bulldog tight grip
short end of a long stick
Can't breath just snorts
Body big legs short
Gets loose finds a kid
clamps down on carotid
Holds on life gone
cops come must run
(run, run, run)
Old bum trash can
it's his last stand
Finds a sandwich
just one little hitch
It's held by a big guy
with a mean look in his eye
Right hook fat lip
old bum takes off at a fast clip
Stumbles and he falls
and when he does he mumbles that's all
(that is all)
