There once lived a man, he came from Mexico, they [B] called him poor old Bo, his [E] name was Lawson Joe.

And [E] everywhere he went, they called him poor old Bo, he [B] lived a lonesome life, his name was Lawson Joe.

He'd eat a [A] country, [E] he'd take [A] a home [E] in his [B] hat, he'd ask his mom, your mom, can I call the wall?
They'd [B] know he'd never work this long, poor [E] old Bo.
[E]
His shoes were always worn, sometimes they wouldn't match, his [B] hat was always flopped, his [E] clothes were always patched.
He had the finest wife, on the finest cane, he'd eat [B] the closest time, on [E] the fastest train.
I've seen [A] him pass the train, I've seen him [A] grab the train.
