Train had just slowed for the crossing when	M
Out from the bushes jumped a hundred men	M
With baseball bats and iron bars	N
They persuaded us back onto the cars	N

And out of dirty fists sometimes	O
Would bloom the melancholy harp	P
Then low low low on the gon doh lah	C
We swayed beneath our tarp	P

And far lights moving in and out of rain	Q

What you do with the Sunday news	R
Oh citizens of the great riffraff	S

We read our brothers shirts for lice	T
And moved around with the fruit	U
Went north to Billings for the beets	V
And had three good days in the jail at Butte	U

	-
We chalked our names on red cliffsides	V
High up where only eagles dwelled	W
Each time a big truck went by below	C
The earth trembled like a woman held	W
	-
	-
	-
	-
And we passed fields of smoking stumps	V
Where goats sometimes or ponies grazed	X
Abandoned tractors stood against the sky	Y
Like giant fists upraised	X
	-
	-

	-
But if we bent our knees it was	V
To drink from a creek s rust colored slime	Z
And splash our chests with it and rub our eyes	V
And wake into another world and time	Z

	-
Let us go then you and me	B
While the neon bubbles upward ceaselessly	B
To lure us down back streets and alleyways	V
Where we may wander and be lost for days	V

Many days and many hours	V

I miss the smell of the ratty furs	V

And I miss the juke and the sign that read	X
NO POLICE SERVED HERE	B2

A cup of coffee afterwards a hymn	C2

Once we stood on a high bluff	D2
Lights fanning out across the bay	E2
A little ragged band of Christs we were	F2
And tempted but we turned away	E2

	-
And didn t I see you Saturday night	X
After the paycheck from the mill	C
Bearing a pot of store bought lilies home	G2
One budding still	C
Ah oh my banjo dog	H2
