I second that last comment... I never heard this before, and the quality is great. Is this really from 73 university concert?? Do you have any more? Please....
my great grandpa sings this song everytime we go visit him. His 90th birthday wasn't long ago :)
He’ll be 100 next year.
just pure brilliance, every townes song has so much emotion in it, there is no one like him
townes was the greatest of all time. here in kent ohio on oct 28 steve earle is going to be playing im pumped for that
Every time I think I've heard every Townes song ever sung, another one pops up. Thank you so much.
Great song never heard it before. i used to hop freight trains and freezing to death is a real possibility in the winter months
At least 100 of those views are mine. Love the song. Hope they writ er on my tombstone.
You good bro? Seven years later...
Jimmie Roger's sang it perfectly, but Townes really conveys the feeling of Hobo Bill.
Dude! Why are we not talking about this? Classic Van Zandt
because words are almost useless most of the time.... when talking about Townes and his songs......

Cuz he was a bad hombre
That is lovely, thanks for the great image.
Sounds like an awesome grandpa!
Just the type of Townes song I’ve been looking for to learn lately. If you like this listen to railroad bill by ramblin Elliot too.
Classic Jimmy Rodgers. And Merle Haggard. But this is great
Such a pretty version RIP big man.
Gracias.
so true!
Did not this one(old J.Rodgers song),but The Late Great TVZ was a true legend,one of the best in lyrics All Time!.
Ain't no whiskey but smack did him in bitersweet or otherwise

Also Jimmy Rodgers and Merle Haggard
@willong1000 Not just whiskey my friend, cocaine, codeine, and many a other distraction to his beautiful music.
@coolanddark Townes van Zandt didn't make covers famous....covers made him famous.
