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
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 fairo, 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
