Ninety-second summer's very fine to ride away 'Cause I'm so tired of wasting time with jerking night and day Can't smell you any longer babe so I gotta run fast from you Trav'ling thru' the Summer Ninety-Two I got seven hundred dollars and a hat in case of rain I'm gonna leave the place, woman I won't be back again
Went down to Louisiana right from Memphis Tennessee The Missisippi blues has caused its fever right on me Hitch-hiking up to New Orleans among the cotton fields Brown sugar sweaty girls I love 'em still Yep
I hardly even liked the girls that I loved in honky-tonks I'll never meet them once again and I don't care at all Maybe I was drunk too much but they seemed so fat and tall As they were huge as rocks so I had to roll
Always smiling and never sad, I've rolled all around the land And people that I've met remember all the songs I've sang
Met her in Chicago where she lived with Ma and Pa You know she shook so fine, a kind I like, as I was playing my guitar Come marry me, I said to her, and we will go to you Loving thru' the Summer Ninety-Two Loving thru' the Summer Ninety-Three Loving thru' the Summer Ninety-Four Loving thru' the time of evermore
