Lyrics
Me and old Shorty Verse1 The year was nineteen forty three And I was a young boy barely past the age of fourteen I got in a fight with mom and dad Thinking that I knew everything there was to know So late one night when everyone was a sleeping I packed up my things and with my old collie buddy That I had Raised since a puppy And I left to go out on my own Chorus Me and old Shorty We were as different as we could be but right from the start we were the best of buddies I was a troubled kid in my teens And Shorty was an old man in his seventies Just like me he ran away from home Looking to find his dreams But the love of pretty ladies and whiskey Lord they took their toll so he made the railroad his home Verse2 Yea and then I hitched a ride on the railroad And that’s when I met old Shorty Jones Lord little did I know that good ole soul Would become the best friend a boy ever had To a lot of folks he was an no good old drunken hobo But in his old body there was a heart of gold And for as I live I’ll never forget him For he was a friend and a father god rest his soul Bridge Shorty he taught me how to drink and smoke And how to tell a downright dirty joke He also taught me to have respect for folks And that just because a man’s got rags for cloths He taught me that no man is better than any other He said in gods eyes were all brothers Living in this great big world together And to the father son were all his priceless treasures Written by Juanita ford/ Judith Greer Edwards
