Hard Traveling |
| I’ve been havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed |
| I’ve been havin' some hard travelin', way down the road |
| I’ve been havin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin' |
| I’ve been havin' some hard travelin', lord |
| I’ve been ridin' them fast rattlers, I thought you knowed |
| I’ve been ridin' them flat wheelers, way down the road |
| I’ve been ridin' them blind passengers, dead-enders, kickin' up cinders |
| I’ve been havin' some hard travelin', lord |
| I’ve been hittin' some hard-rock minin', I thought you knowed |
| I’ve been leanin' on a pressure drill, way down the road |
| Hammer flyin', air-hose suckin', six foot of mud and I shore been a muckin' |
| And I’ve been hittin' some hard travelin', lord |
| I’ve been hittin' some hard harvestin', I thought you knowed |
| North Dakota to Kansas City, way down the road |
| Cuttin' that wheat, stackin' that hay, and I’m tryin' make about a dollar a day |
| And I’ve been havin' some hard travelin', lord |
| I’ve been working that Pittsburgh steel, I thought you knowed |
| I’ve been a dumpin' that red-hot slag, way down the road |
| I’ve been a blasting, I’ve been a firin', I’ve been a pourin' red-hot iron |
| I’ve been hittin' some hard travelin', lord |
| I’ve been layin' in a hard-rock jail, I thought you knowed |
| I’ve been a laying out 90 days, way down the road |
| Damned old judge, he said to me, «It's 90 days for vagrancy.» |
| And I’ve been hittin' some hard travelin', lord |
| I’ve been walking that Lincoln highway, I thought you knowed |
| I’ve been hittin' that 66, way down the road |
| Heavy load and a worried mind, lookin' for a woman that’s hard to find |
| I’ve been hittin' some hard travelin', lord |
