Well, Im so tired of crying
But Im out on the road again
Im on the road again
Well, Im so tired of crying
But Im out on the road again
Im on the road again
I aint got no woman
Just to call my special friend
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 didnt 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.'
Take a hint from me, mama
Please dont you cry no more
Dont you cry no more
Take a hint from me, mama
Please dont you cry no more
Dont you cry no more
Cause its soon one morning
Down the road Im going
But I aint going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
But I aint going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
I cant carry you, baby
Gonna carry somebody else
