Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out
on the road again - I'm on the road again
Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out
on the road again - I'm on the road again
I ain't got no woman just to call my special friend
And I'm going to leave the city, got to go away
I'm going to leave the city, got to go away
All this fussing and fighting, man I sure can't stay
You know the first time I travelled out
in the rain and snow - in the rain and snow
You know the first time I travelled out
in the rain and snow - in the rain and snow
I didn't have no fellow, not even no place to go
And my dear mother left me when I
was quite young - when I was quite young
And my dear mother left me when I
was quite young - when I was quite young
She said "Lord have mercy on my wicked son."
Take a hint from me mama please don't
you cry no more - don't you cry no more
Take a hint from me mama please don't
you cry no more - don't you cry no more
'Cause it's soon one morning down the road I'm gone
But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road - all by myself
But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road - all by myself
I can't carry you baby, gonna carry somebody else
