Rory Block - Terraplane Blues lyrics

And I feel so lonesome you hear me when I moan When I feel so lonesome You hear me when I moan Who been drivin' my Terraplane for you since I been gone I'd said I flash your lights, mama your horn won't even blow (Spoken: Somebody's been runnin' my batteries down on this machine) I even flash my lights, mama this horn won't even blow Got a short in this connection hoo-well, babe, it's way down below I'm on'h'ist your hood, mama I'm bound to check your oil I'm on'h'ist your hood, mama-mmm I'm bound to check your oil I got a woman that I'm lovin' way down in Arkansas Now, you know the coils ain't even buzzin' little generator won't get the spark Motor's in a bad condition, you gotta have these batteries charged But I'm cryin', please plea-hease don't do me wrong Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for you-hoo since I've been gone Mr. Highway man plea-hease don't block the road Puh hee hee plea-hease don't block the road Cause she's re'ist'rin a cold one hundred and I'm booked and I got to go Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm You ooo ooo ooo You hear me weep and moan Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for you-hoo since I been gone I'm on get deep down in this connection keep tanglin' with your wires I'm on get deep down in this connection hoo-well, keep tanglin' with these wires And when I mash down on your little starter then your spark plug will give me fire
