about

Country Blues Inspired story about an old 'Ramblin' Blues Man

lyrics

Well They Called Him Ragtime Texas
Henry Thomas Was His Name
He Spent His Whole Life Travellin'
West Memphis Down To New Orleans
He Was A Dusty Mountain Of A Man
And He Stood Over Six Feet Tall
But He Slept Under The Union Bridge
The Night Before

But When I Saw Him, At The Station
Standing By The Red Light
He Took The Last Train Home
Rolling Down The Delta Line
And He Rambled All Around
From The Barrelhouse To The Juke
He Just Hollering Out
His Mississippi Hill County Blues

Yea They Call Him Ragtime Texas
Henry Thomas Was His Name
He Spent His Whole Life Hoboing
Miss'ssippi Down Louisian'

And When I Saw Him At The Station
Standing By The Red Light
He Took The Last Train Home
Rolling Down The Delta Line
Now He's Gone In The Night
Through The Storm To The Light
Lead Me On Ragtime Texas
Take Me Home

Now He's Gone In The Night
Through The Storm To The Light
Lead Me On Ragtime Texas
Take Me Home
