    I love this song. I saw Arlo in concert a while back and I told him after the show that I had raised three kids singing this song and “Lay Down Little Dogies” to them as lullabies. Arlo smiled and said, “Well. Did they turn out alright?” I said they were all three fine. Thanks for posting this great song with your marvelous photo montage.

    @tightness411 – haven’t you heard yet? Nobama IS the current crisis in America, except that it’s not him, nor any politician that created it, it’s the owners of those politicians, the Banker Cartel, who are writing out the script that every politician this century has to quote, or die, i.e., like President Kennedy, who stepped out of line two weeks before his murder, when he signed an order to abolish Cartel Banker money control. Nobama and JW are good ol’ buddies, in real life.

    pamelajsico, when I stayed at my Grandparents in Ripon, California in the late forties – early fifties, often hobos from the nearby railroad along highway 99 would come to their little goat dairy to work for grandpa Clewett. Grandma would fix good food from their meager pantry, and they asked for small jars to take some on their way. Now, as I consider my retirement years, I want to do what I can to live as my grandparents did. I sure do miss them!

    My grandma used to have a mark on her front porch that the hobos from the nearby train tracks would leave. It meant that there was warm food there for them. That it how she was.

    Hmm…you’re obviously well-researched and well-thought out comment here has caught my interest. Would you mind showing me the reports and data that show that Obama has caused the economic crisis? I would really like to see that…

    Was hier (vor allem im 2. Teil des Videos) gezeigt wird, sind Fotos von Obdachlosen. Hobos sind Wander-ARBEITER, keine Penner oder Sandler!

    Thanks, and you are correct .

    Don’t get caught in the details and look at the big picture. The song is about hobos; the slideshow isn’t. You are close to seeing it.

    I’ve never heard this song before, and now love it. The photographs you added to it do it justice. Just one comment though. There is a difference between a hobo, a tramp, and a bum as they are not all one and the same. Just my $0.02 worth. Hope it buys you a cup of coffee:)
