Well, I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again   I'm on the road again   Well, I'm so tired of cryin' 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      And I'm going to leave the city, got to go away   I'm going to leave the city, got to go away   All this fussing and fighting, man, I sure can't stay      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 fellow, 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 gone      But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road   All by myself   But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road   All by myself   I can't carry you, baby, gonna carry somebody
