I met that Bo on the way to Bangor Last Spring
He was a man blown outta glass
Just released from the Big House
Most said that he was a Bindlestiff
But there aint no truth In that
He looked at me and called me an Angelina
Just another inexperienced kid
Who wanted to hit the rail and travel
He sat me down by the fire and told me about
Bad roads and accommodation cars
and how to flip and evade the Bulls
also how to spot the easy marks
Bindlestiks and California Blankets
We sat eating bullets and gumps
Smoking snipes into the night.
With the moon as our cover
Safe in the Jungle
No buzzards around that night
The following day we would be padding the hoof along the main drag
Looking for a train to grab on the fly
and see were destiny would take us
