Chrisb1 asked what a cross-tie walker is, it's a colorful description of a tramp or hobo, who when they aren't "flat-car riders" (hopping trains to travel across the countryside), they are "cross-tie walkers" walking on the rails waiting for a train.
This, too, is my favorite CCR song. I love the imagery of a barefoot girl dancing in the moonlight along a river road.
