Best Hobo song ever!!!!!!!


Beside a Western water tank,
a dyin' hobo lay.
Beside him knelt his comrade
with a sad and droopin' head,
listenin' to the last words the dyin hobo said.
(Followed by words and tune about the Big Rock Candy Mountain.)
The hobo laid back his weary head,
And sighed his last refrain.
His comrade swiped his shoes and socks,
And hopped an eastbound train.
 
Love the record label, Victor. Using a similar (if not the same) dog and record player as His Master's Voice. HMV.
The Victor Company was based in Camden NJ. Later, when they became part of RCA, the Camden record label was records of new and lesser known singers. Not sure, but has the Camden record label changed back to just 'Victor'?
