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
