Lyrics:

So tired of crying, but I'm out
On the road again
I'm on the road again
So tired of crying, but I'm out
On the road again
I'm on the road again
I ain't got no woman
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
On that road I'm going

But I ain't going down that
Long old lonesome road
All by myself
Oh I aint going down that
Long old lonesome road
All by myself
I can't carry you, baby
Gonna carry somebody else
I can't carry you, baby
Gonna carry somebody else
