H _ e was standing by the highway

With a sign that just said "Mother"

He heard a (X33211)driver co ming

About a half a mile a way _ _

A _ nd he held the sign up higher

So no decent soul could miss it

It was ten de grees or colder

Down by Boulder Dam that day _ _ _ _ _

H _ e was raised up in Milwaukee

Though he never was that famous

He was just a road mu sician

To the taverns he would go _ _

S _ inging songs about the rambling

The loving girls and gambling

How the world fell on his shoulders

Back in Boulder I don't know

| _ _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ |

| _ _ | _ _

I _ t was out in Arizona

That he heard the lady listening

To each word that he was singing

To each line that he would write _ _

S _ o he sat down by her table

And they talked about the weather

Ninety- eight point six and rising

Down by Boulder Dam that night _ _ _

_And she told him she would take him

For a ride in the morning sun

Back in Boulder he had told her

Don't know when I had a better f _ riend _ _ _

N _ ow he's traded off his Martin

But his troubles are not over

For his feet are almost frozen

And the sun is sinking low _ _

W _ on't you listen to me brother

If you've ever loved your mother

Please pull off on the shoulder

If you're going Milwaukee way _ _

It's t _ en de grees and getting colder

Down by Boulder Dam to day
