(M. M. Murphey/B. Castleman) Now I was driving down a West Texas highway, I saw a hitchhiker and his thumb was pointing my way, He didn't look suspicious and he didn't look any too clean. I put on my brakes and I opened my door, I could tell he was a bum by the muddy boots he wore; He said, "I'm going down to Haskell, Got a woman down in Abilene." He said, "East Texas is where I come from, I was working a rodeo out there, And it sure got humdrum. So I'm just traveling around A whole lot of Texas I've seen. "I'm mighty glad you were going my way, In your brand new clothes there And your great big Chevrolet, I'm going down to Haskell, Got a woman in Abilene." Well, he was grinning like a possum And a mighty happy rascal, And he waved good-bye When I let him out in Haskell; And that's about the last of that old road tramp I ever did see. But I'm still wishing To this very day, That he had my clothes And my big Chevrolet, And it was me going to Haskell, With a woman down in Abilene.
