lyrics

Well, I'm so tired of crying,
But I'm out on the road again.
Well, I'm so tired of crying,
But I'm out on the road again.
I ain't got nobody
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 -
She said "Lord, have mercy
On my wicked one."

Well now take it from me, mama,
Please don't you cry no more -
Take a hint from me, mama,
Please don't you cry no more -
'Cause it's soon one morning
Down the road I’ll go.

No I aint going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself.
No I aint going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself.
If you [bad word] with me
Gonna take somebody else.

Well, I'm so tired of crying,
But I'm out on the road again.
I ain't got nobody
Just to call my special friend.
I ain't got nobody
Just to call my special friend.
I ain't got nobody
Just to call my special friend.
