This is part four of a four part series called “Sing you dirty piece of shit!”
Now we have the fourth and final song for your musical arsenal. This is the Dick Cheney of hobo songs. This is the alpha and the omega. This is C Is For Cookie. Singing this song is the same as saying you’re definitely getting change today, because you are! If I heard a hobo singing C Is For Cookie I’d give him everything in my wallet and I’d let him pee on my feet. That’s how god damn magical this song is!
With this, you now know the four most important songs in the hobo world. You’re set for life.

Next up on our list of required hobo songs is Jimmy Crack Corn, also known as Blue Tail Fly. Why is it also called Blue Tail Fly? No idea. Roughly 70% of the song is the phrase ‘Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care’ but apparently some toothless dream wearing burlap decided Blue Tail Fly was more appropriate.
If Skip To My Lou is the shuriken of hobo songs, this is the sweatpants of hobo songs. Just one more song to go and you’ll know every melody you could ever hope to know.

Now that you’ve had time to memorize the last song, Oh Susanna, we’re going to kick it up a notch with a long annoying bastard of a song called Skip To My Lou. Skip To My Lou is the ninja shuriken of hobo songs and I’m not going to explain what that means.
Memorize it well.

Hobos have passed their time by singing the classics for ages. Trains used to be filled with the sweet sweet songs of poor people and there’s no excuse for you to not continue the proud tradition of those who came before you. Every hobo should know four key songs. To not know them is a hobo no no.
Oh Susanna is the first in this series. Listen to the words and study them well.
