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.
