ON THE ROAD AGAIN
(Floyd Jones / Alan Wilson)


Canned Heat - 1967




Well, I'm so tired of crying
But I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
Well, I'm so tired of crying
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 payroll
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"


(Instrumental Break)


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 mornin'
Down the road I'm goin'


But I aint goin' down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
But I aint goin' down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
I can't carry you, Baby
Gonna carry somebody else
