I was Dtalking to a Aswaggy yesterDday
His Gbeard was long his hair was silver Dgrey
His Adress was out of style but he Dwore a friendly smile
And E7here is what the Aold man had to Dsay
“You may Dthink me most Aunusual my Dboy
When I Gtell you straight that I am stony Dbroke
I Atramp from year to year and I’ll Ddrink all kinds of beer
But I like to have good A'baccy when I Dsmoke"
Now I’ll Dshow you this here Aold terbacco Dtin
The Gpaint is gone the sides are dinted Din
But it’s Aopened many a bottle in its Dwild and chequered life
And to me it has Aalways been a Dfriend

I Done time had a Awife and everyDthing
But a Astranger came and soon we were aDpart
So I Aleft my friends and home and I Dhit the road to roam
But nicotine has Amended my old Dheart
I’ve Dgot no use for Amoney in my Dlife
You Gstrive and struggle till it gets you Ddown
I Atramp until I lag and then I’ll Ddrop my swag
And I’ll sit and smoke and Awatch the world go D'round
When Dfinally I Areach the golden Dgates
They Gsay St Peter he’s a decent Dbloke
If I’m Ataken with the blessed this will Dbe my last request
I must have good Aterbaccy when I Dsmoke
Yes I was Dtalking to that Aswaggy yesterDday
And Gwhat he told me I’ll remember Dclear
ATrampin’ out there with the breeze happy as the Dbirds and bees
And I reckon that he Ahas the right iDdea.
