Hudson
The Cobbler
A ragged old man reached out his handBrought me inside of his traveling caravanHis face was rough, his hands were toughBut I could see in his eyes he was a gentleman I could trustHis pants were worn and his sweater all tornOut on the road with his trusty old LabradorHe offered me stew and his finest homebrewMy hunger was plenty and words were but fewAsked where was I going and where was I fromMy travels will lead me to the land of the rising sunThe look on his face was a look of surpriseLit up with excitement, and the depths of his eyesShowed his path was the same, he knew it by name"If we travel together, we'll be safer" he claimedI fully agreed, as did my steedA much needed rest after many hard weeksHopeless with lack of a planRescued in this foreign landHopeful that we'll find a wayThe East will find us some dayI asked him his name, he politely declinedSongtexteSaid "I was a cobbler in a previous life"But the industry changed and the need for my tradeWas thrown out the window like a dusty old paperweightI packed up my things and walked out the doorWith a satchel of maps and my trusty old LabradorI wasn't too long on the road to the EastWhen I stumbled upon you and your handsome young steed
