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 traveled out in the rain and snow

In the rain and snow


You know the first time I traveled 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
