40 Miles of Mountain Road |
| I walked forty miles of mountain road |
| With a worn out wheel and a load down low |
| I broke down and I’d be there still |
| But I had enough speed to make it over the hill |
| Well I crossed the ridge over the top |
| Seen a two log bridge with no time to stop |
| I can’t turn close, I can’t turn wide |
| So I left my body on the other side |
| I walked forty miles of Georgia clay |
| And I seen Diablo along the way |
| Digging a grave with a pick and a shovel |
| I said, «I got no sympathy for you, devil» |
| I drink my liquor from an old fruit jar |
| I made a banjo from a old ham can |
| I’m going straight to hell when I leave this world |
| I’d rather be a possum than an old broke girl |
| I walked forty miles of mountain road |
| Soothe my temper, soothe my soul |
| Forty miles of mountain road |
| To get you in the middle and let you go home |
| I walked forty miles to the old crossroads |
| Tried to buy back my soul |
| Bet it all on just one roll |
| Seen a pair of snake eyes looking cold |
| When you lose, it’s only fair |
| The lord don’t hear no gambler’s prayer |
| Go tell it on the mountain now have you heard |
| Hell broke loose devil’s outta work I walked forty miles of mountain road |
| Soothe my temper, soothe my soul |
| Forty miles of mountain road |
| To get you in the middle and let you go home |
| I walked through the cactus to find a rose |
| For my baby, sweet and cold |
| Six foot down and on his way |
| To meet St. Peter at the gates |
| I walked forty miles of mountain road |
| Soothe my temper, soothe my soul |
| Forty miles of mountain road |
| To get you in the middle and let you go home |
