Billy Jack Washburn – Jonny Paycheck
From Maine to San Francisco for years I've rode the rails
Coast to coast and border to border I've been in about every jail
One night around the Golden Gate I caught a friend
And lying in the bottom of the boxcar was a man named Billy Jack Washburn
Through the rain and the wind the train was flying
I knew the man was lying there dying
I had to try to save a man with nothing but my two bare hands
And I did He was just a kid (Just a kid)
Now me and Billy Jack We laid around a few Hobo comps for a while
Till Billy Jack got his strength back and the sunshine gave him back his smile
We decided that we would leave and head on down to New Orleans
And we did me and the kid (Me and the kid)
But things weren't like they were before I never had a friend jumping' from the door
Treated him like I was his dad and gave him everything I had which was nothing
Except the love for a friend and a friend he was but I lost him (Lost him)
Billy Jack Washburn was his name I lost him down around Jacksonville
When he fell from the train I rolled off and I hit the ground
I picked his body up and carried it all the way back to town
He was a friend of mine (Friend of mine)
Now here I am in Macon Georgia to help lay Billy Jack in the ground
And by the way Macon Georgia is my home town
When I picked his milk fold up I saw a picture of his mama and her name
And I cried like a baby (And I cried) Cos' his mama and my mama were the same
Well I haven't been home in 26 years
When I do come home it has to be like this
Sometimes old lady fate she deals a terrible kiss
Billy Jack Washburn was his so called name
I lost him down around Jacksonville when he fell from the train
But I lost more than a friend I'll never see my brother again (again)
