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  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  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."

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  morning

Down  the  road  I'm  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  can't  carry  you,  Baby,

Gonna  carry  somebody  else.
