Transcriber: Awcantor@aol.com My baby woke up this mornin' And she said she highway bound Yes, my baby woke up this mornin' An she said she highway bound She wanna find Number 51 That the main highway outta town She wouldn't even talk to me Didn't have a word to say She wouldn't even talk to me Didn't have a word to say She asked all her friends Where she could find 51 Highway Tell her, I feel like takin' my suitcase An sittin' down on a lonesome highway I feel like takin' my suitcase An sittin' down on a lonesome highway So (she) if she leave out on Number 51 I'll overtake her just 'fore day (harmonica & instrumental) If I had my machine I wouldn't worry about her leavin' town If I had my machine I wouldn't worry about her leaving town 'Cause I'd hit that 51 Highway Lord know, I'd roll that highway down. ~
