Terraplane Blues

(album: The Complete Recordings - 1990)

And I feel so lonesome, you hear me when I moan
When I feel so lonesome, you hear me when I moan
Who been driving my Terraplane1, for you since I been gone.

I'd said I flash your lights, mama, you horn won't even blow
(Somebody's been running my batteries down on this machine)
I even flash my lights, mama, this horn won't even blow
Got a short in this connection, hoo well, babe, it's way down below

I'm gion' heist your hood, mama, I'm bound to check your oil
I'm going heist your hood, mama, mmm, I'm bound to check your oil
I got a woman that I'm loving, way down in Arkansas

Now, you know the coils ain't even buzzing, little generator won't get the spark
Motor's in a bad condition, you gotta have these batteries charged
But I'm crying, pleease, pleease don't do me wrong.
Who been driving my Terraplane1 now for, you since I been gone.

Mr. highway man, please don't block the road
Puh hee hee, please don't block the road
'Cause she's reaching a cold one hundred and I'm booked and I got to go

Yoo... you hear me weep and moan
Who been driving my Terraplane1 now for, you since I been gone

I'm gon' get down in this connection, keep on tangling with your wires
I'm gon' get down in this connection, oh well, keep on tangling with these wires
And when I mash down on your little starter, then your spark plug will give me fire
