[Intro] (On the road again, okay Yeah, right Light and breezy And don't let it go down, whatever One, two, one, two, three, four) [Verse 1] I'm so tired of cryin' I'm out on the road again I'm on the road again You know, I'm so tired of cryin' I'm out on the road again I'm on the road again I ain't got no woman, darlin' Don't you know ain't got no friend [Verse 2] My dear mother left me When I was quite young When I was quite young You know, my dear mother left me When I was quite young When I was quite young She said "Lord, have mercy On her wicked son" [Verse 3] 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 Don't you know, pretty darlin' Soon one mornin' down the road I'm goin' [Verse 4] I asked the conductor "Please, let a poor boy ride Let the poor boy ride" Lord, I asked the conductor "Please, let the poor boy ride Let a poor boy ride" He said "I'm so sad to say But the train ain't none of mine" [Harmonica Solo] (Take it, Henry) [Guitar Solo] (Yes) (Alright) (Oh, yes) [Verse 5] The first time I travelled Out in the rain and snow In the rain and snow Lord, the first time I travelled Out in the rain and snow In the rain and snow You know, I done lost my faro I didn't know which way to go [Verse 6] Lord, I done start walkin' Down that long old lonesome road All by myself Don't you know, I done start walkin' Down that long old lonesome road All by myself Lord, I couldn't have my darlin' I don't want nobody else [Harmonica Solo & Outro]
