Nomadic Trails

The Smiths' were gypsies who wore rings in their ears Dan and Tom were tramps who loved drinking beer They met up with Stanley and Sam, both petty thieves Together they rode the rails, they enjoyed this relief Setting up camp in the woods near a dusty town Not far from the rails, for that's how they got around Stan went into town to "pick" up some supplies His pal Dan followed later to get some beer or rye The others stayed behind to secure the campsite When the duo returned they were half drunk, and wanted to fight Later cooking up the food that Stan picked up Afterwards drinking whiskey from a jagged tin cup A few days later they decided to move on Never staying in one place very long They gathered up their supplies, for the train would soon be coming These vagabonds were soon aboard to continue their roaming Destination unknown, on these ever winding rails Continuing their adventures, while blazing nomadic trails 4 - 21- 2012
