Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I'm so tired of cryin', but I'm out on the road again
Well I'm so tired of cryin', but I'm out on the road again
I ain't got nobody just to call my special friend
[Verse 2]
You know the first time I travelled out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
You know the first time I travelled out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
I didn't have no payroll, not even no place to go
[Verse 3]
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
She said "Lord have mercy on my wicked one"
[Verse 4]
Well, now take it from me, mamma, please don't you cry no more
Take a hint from me, momma, please, don't you cry no more
'Cause it's soon one mornin' down the road I'll go
No, I ain't goin' down that long and lonesome road all by myself
No, I ain't goin' down that long and lonesome road all by myself
If you ain't comin' with me, gonna take somebody else
[Verse 5]
Well I'm so tired of cryin', but I'm out on the road again
I ain't got nobody just to call my special friend
I ain't got nobody just to call my special friend
I ain't got nobody just to call my special friend
