"Hang On St. Christopher" is a song by Tom Waits appearing on his 1987 album Franks Wild Years.

A series of road oriented imagery is evoked in the lyrics, which are sung from the perspective of O'Brien, a downtrodden individual who leaves behind his family and hometown in hopes of attaining a more prosperous future.

A set of Leslie bass pedals were placed on a kitchen table and operated by William Schimmel using his fists.

[3] The song was augmented by Ralph Carney on tenor saxophone, Marc Ribot on guitar, and Michael Blair on drums.

[4] For the extended remix of "Hang on St. Christopher", a train sound effect was added to the track, which Waits was particularly pleased with.
