Well I'm so tired of going
but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
Well I'm so tired of going
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
You know the first
time I travelled
out in the rain and snow
I'm 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 pharaoh
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
my mama please,
don't you cry no more
don't you cry no more
Take a hint from
my mama please,
don't you cry no more
don't you cry no more
'Cos it's soon one morning,
down the road I'm gone
But I ain't going down that
long old lonesome road
all by myself
But I ain't going down that
long old lonesome road
all by myself
I can't carry your baby
gonna carry somebody else
