Lyrics :

Well my soul started crying but I'm out on the road 
again
On the road again  
Well my soul started crying but I'm out on the road 
again
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 not even no place to go  

And my dear mama left me when I was quite young
When I was quite young  
And my dear mama left me when I was quite young
When I was quite young  
She said "Lord have mercy on my wicked son"  


Take mama please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more  
Take mama please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more  
Cause it's soon one morning down the road I'm gone  

But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road
Al by myself  
But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road
All by myself  
I can't carry you baby gonna carry somebody else
