Westbound Rattler

Whiskey Johnny lives up on the hill
Whiskey Johnny lives up on the hill
He drunk himself to death
Lord, he's living here still
He said, "I sure ain't got but a nickel to my name"
Lord, Lord, he said, "I sure ain't got but a nickel to my name"
"If I had one I'd ride that westbound just the same"
Got the hump in his pocket and the skipper done seen his face
Got the hump in his pocket and the skipper done seen his face
Now he's sitting in the weeds 'til the big fool's gone away
He said, "If you ain't got a dollar, can you give me a ride downtown?"
He said, "If you ain't got a dollar, can you give me a ride downtown?"
"Well, I'll just take a look and I'll ride that bus back down"
Sitting 'neath the bridge where the fire burns all night long
Lord, Lord, well, he's sitting 'neath the
Bridge where the fire burns all night long
Whiskey Johnny ain't drunk, but he won't be sober long
Well, I ain't got nothing but a nickel to my name
Lord, Lord, he said, "I sure ain't got but a nickel to my name"
"If I had one I'd ride that westbound just the same"
