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
