	He was the American Hobo during the Great Depression Era. A banker from North Carolina. A family man. The old railroad maps show how the rails were broken over to Bowling Green, so he rode horseback. Then took the train again to Memphis---in his bankers' suit and shoes. That's just the way it was.

	Story Behind the Song A song of the American Hobo, who rode the rails during the Great Depression. Dressed in business suits and wingedtip shoes, being the likes of bankers and businessmen, they looked for work anywhere along the rails from Bolling Green to Memphis to Birmingham, to support their families back home. They took no handout but would work for food. Performed by the Nashville Bluegrass group, "Foreign Affairs". Lyrics Blue Mountain Song Words and Music by Ron Patrick Copyright 1995 All Rights Reserved Blue mountain song Somethin's wrong again Blue lights on the mountain Jesse, my darlin', took her gold hair down. Packed my bags, got on that Midnight Flyer. Rode that train through Bowling Green, Kentucky today Rode that train through Memphis, southbound all the way Ridin' the train cars, empty they are. Still I hear you singin' your own blue mountain song Blue mountain song Somethin's wrong again Blue lights on the mountain Steel rails, black smoke, Mason-Dixon line Short on cash, long on hope, got on that Midnight Flyer There's money down in Birmingham far from Caroline Far from darlin' Jesse cryin'neath the pine. Ridin' the train cars, empty they are Good times soon be comin' in our blue mountain home Blue mountain song Somethin's wrong again Blue lights on the mountain (3)
