I'm tired of walking down that lonesome road
|
I'm tired of walking down that lonesome road
|
It's a mighty hard travelin' and a heavy load
|
|
I swing that hammer and I draw a low straight line
|
I swing that hammer and I draw a low straight line
|
It's a 40 hour livin' for that gal of mine
|
|
Well the foreman asked me what would be my say
|
Oh the foreman asked me what might be my say
|
I said just a drink of water and favor on the judgment day
|
|
I'm tired of walking down that lonesome road
|
I'm tired of walking down that lonesome road
|
It's a mighty hard travelin' and a heavy load
|
|
Well, I roll a lucky dice and draw a winning hand
|
I roll a lucky dice and draw a winning hand
|
But where my money goes, I don't understand
|
|
Well, the king of Memphis, popping four bit shines
|
Well the king of Memphis, popping four bit shines
|
I'm up here in Kentucky slave to this old mine
|
|
Every time it thunders, I hear them sad ole taps
|
Oh every time it thunders, I hear them sad ole taps
|
And if this mountain shakes, it's gonna fall right in my lap
|
|
I'm tired of walkin' down that lonesome road
|
I'm tired of walkin down that lonesome road
|
It's a mighty hard travelin' and a heavy load
