Painting of the Day :: Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart)

 

 (1987)

Oil on canvas 162 x 130 cm


HOBO CHANG BA 

Strawood claw rattlin' my jaw
I can't call it usin'
It's just somethin' soothin'
Feather times a feather
Mornin' time to thaw
Hobo chang ba
Hobo chang ba
Standin' still is losin'
Feather times a feather
Mornin' time to thaw
Strawwood claw rattlin' my jaw
Hobo chang ba
Hobo chang ba
Hobo chang ba, oh
Hobo chang ba, oh
Stand to gain my ground
Lay to rest the law
The ocean is my mother
Freight train is my 'pa
Hobo chang ba
Hobo chang ba, oh
Hobo chang ba
The rails I ride are rustin'
The new sunrise I'm trustin'
The rails I ride are rustin'
The new sunrise my trustin'
Strawwood claw rattlin' my jaw
Hobo chang ba, oh
Hobo chang ba, hobo
