Lyrics Down the Road Bound Blues (Take 1) - Ida Cox

Down the Road Bound Blues (Take 1)

I looked down the road, Lord, far as I could see
I looked down the road, Lord, far as I could see
And I saw my man waving farewell to me
I laid and I worried, cried the whole night through
I laid and I worried, cried the whole night through
Trying to figure out, sweet papa, how to get along with you
I ain’t going to Texas, ain’t going to Tennessee
I ain’t going to Texas, ain’t going to Tennessee
But I’m going down the road, and trying to find my used-to-be
I’m worried now, but I won’t be when the sun goes down
I’m worried now, won’t be when the sun goes down
For mama’s got the blues and mama’s going to find her brown
Going down the road and ain’t coming back ‘til fall
Going down the road, ain’t coming back ‘til fall
If I don’t find my man, I ain’t coming back at all
Started to write a letter, had to lay my pencil down
Started to write a letter, had to lay my pencil down
‘Cause the blues overtook me, and I’m down the road bound
