Goin' down de road, Lawd, / Goin' down de road.
Down de road, Lawd, / Way, way down de road.
Got to find somebody / To help me carry dis load.
Road's in front o' me, / Nothin' to do but walk.
Road's in front o' me, / Walk. and walk. and walk.
I'd like to meet a good friend / To come along an' talk.
Hates to be lonely, / Lawd, I hates to be sad.
Says I hates to be lonely, / Hates to be lonely an' sad, / But ever friend you finds seems / Like they try to do you bad.
Road, road, road, O!
Road, road. road. road, road!
Road, road, road, O!
On de No'thern road.
These Mississippi towns ain't / Fit fer a hoppin' toad.
