Yep, as the song says, "the hobo drifted up the rails" and real piece of history is gone. I know you know this already but Hank was taught to play guitar by a black street musician named Rufus "Tee-tot" Payne. Check out this tribute to him by Hank Jr. I do declare you can close your eyes and see cotton fields and run down shacks in this song. The music of the slaves still touches today, does it not?
