lyrics

On a Monday morning it begin to rain.
'Round the curve come a passenger train.
On the bumper was Hobo John.
He's a good old hobo, but he's dead and gone.
Dead and gone,

Now Jay Gould's daughter was a girl named Jane
Used to ride up and down on her daddies train
Women and children riding riding next door
Jay Gould's daughter got her very own car.
Her very own car.

Jay Gould's daughter said before she died,
Papa, fix the blinds so the bums can't ride.
If ride they must, they got to ride the rod.
Let 'em put their trust in the hands of God.
In the hands of God.

Jay Gould's daughter said, before she died,
There's two more drinks I'd like to try.
Jay Gould said, "Daughter what can they be?
They's a glass o' water and a cup o' tea.
A cup o' tea,

Let them put their trust in the hands of God.
Jay Gould's daughter said, before she died,
There's two more trains I'd like to ride.
Jay Gould said, "Daughter, what can they be?"
The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe.
The Santa Fe,
