Hellhound On My Trail

(album: The Complete Recordings - 1990)

I got to keep moving, I've got to keep moving
Blues falling down like hail, blues falling down like hail
Mm mm mm, blues falling down like hail, blues falling down like hail
And the days keeps on worrying me of a hellhound on my trail
Hellhound on my trail, hellhound on my trail

If today was Christmas eve, if today was Christmas eve
And tomorrow was Christmas day
If today was Christmas eve and tomorrow was Christmas day
(Aow, wouldn't we have a time, baby?)
All I would need, my little sweet rider, just
To pass the time away, huh huh, to pass the time away

You sprinkled hot foot powder, mmm
Mmm, around my door, all around my door
You sprinkled hot foot powder, mmm
All around your daddy's door, hmm hmm hmm
It keep me with rambling mind, rider
Every old place I go, every old place I go

I can tell, the wind is rising, the leaves trembling on the tree
Trembling on the tree
I can tell, the wind is rising, leaves trembling on the tree
All I need's my little sweet woman
And to keep my company, hmm hmm, hey hey
My company
