[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Also by Hoyle Nix.

Working on the railroad,
Sleeping on the ground,
Eating saltine crackers,
Ten cents a pound....

I do love Bob Wills, Spade Cooley and Hoyle Nix! Now THAT is country music I was born to love!

[V K Lee]

Nix actually wrote and first recorded the song.
Later it was covered by other artists, Bob Wills & Tex playboys being the favorite wax version here.
