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 no body 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
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
She said Lord have mercy on my wicked one

Well now, take it from me mama please don't you cry no more
Take a hint from me mama please don't you cry no more
'Cause it's soon one morning down the road I'm gone

No, I ain't going down that long and lonesome road
All by myself
No, I ain't going down that long and lonesome road
All by myself
If you ain't coming with me, gonna take somebody else

Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again
I ain't got no body just to call my special friend
I ain't got no body just to call my special friend
I ain't got no body just to call my special friend
