Son Of A Bum Lyrics - Nat Stuckey

Well I was born in a tumbled down shack one quarter of a mile from a railroad track 

Mama was a drifter and daddy was a bum and they didn't want a little hobo son 

But things do happen and here I am just outside of Birmingham 

Train's slowin' down and I'm gonna jump up 

I'm gonna spread my wings and look all about 

Give me the whip of the whippoorwill a whippin' it up on the lonely hill 

Give me the sun the stars and the rain sleeky peeky wine in the blood of my veins 

Cause I'm a son of a bum I'm a son of a bum 

I'm a son of a bum son of a bum bum bum 

Free as the breeze and I'm easy to please 

Well fussin' and a fightin' and a goin' to war people don't know what's livin' for 

Money money money that's all folks know they could learn a lesson from a rich hobo 

I got no worries and no regrets I got no money but I got no debts 

Rabbit in the picket and fish in the brook and I've got my supper if I got me a hook 

Give me the whip... 

I'm a son of a bum son and I'm easy to please
