Phil Ochs - The Ballad Of John Train Lyrics
Phil ochs checked into the chelsea hotel,There was blood on his clothes and they were dirty.I could see by his face he was not feeling well,Hed been to one too many parties.He walked in the lobby a picture of doom,It was plain to see hed been a-drinkinI had to follow him up to his room,To find out what he was thinkingTrain, train, trainFrom the outlaw in his brainBut hes still the same refrainHe walked in his room and he fell on the floorHanging in his hangoverNow the act from the stage he plays on the streetHanding out piles of moneyHis audience now is the bums that he meetsIs he a phony or funny?
