It was a long time ago
No shoes on my feet
I walked ten miles of train track
To hear Hank Williams sing

His body was worn
But his spirit was free
And he sang every song
Looking right straight at me

I am just a tramp on your street
And you must understand
You got my soul at your feet
Ohhh, and my heart in your hand

Now I don't have to pick
And I don't have to choose
I don't have to win
And I don't want to lose

If I make any pay
I just throw it away
I don't count on tomorrow
I just live for today

Sir, I am a tramp on your street
And you must understand
You got my soul at your feet
And my heart in your hand

And you opened your heart
And you let me inside
And made a stray dog like me
Feel welcome tonight

Oh a long time ago
No shoes on my feet
I walked ten miles of track
To hear Hank Williams sing

His body was worn
But his spirit was free
And he sang every song
Looking right straight at me
