Hard Travelin'

(앨범: Hard Travelin' - 1964)

I've been having some hard traveling, I thought you knowed
I've been having some hard traveling, way down the road
I've been having some hard traveling, hard rambling, hard gambling
I've been having some hard traveling, Lord

I've been riding them fast rattlers, I thought you knowed
I've been riding them flat wheelers, way down the road
I've been riding them blind passengers, dead-enders, kicking up cinders
I've been having some hard traveling, Lord

I've been hitting some hard-rock mining, I thought you knowed
I've been leaning on a pressure drill, way down the road
Hammer flying, air-hole sucking, six foot of mud and I shore been a mucking
And I've been hitting some hard traveling, Lord

I've been hitting some hard harvesting, I thought you knowed
North Dakota to Kansas City, way down the road
Cutting that wheat, stacking that hay, and I'm trying make about a dollar a day
And I've been having some hard traveling, Lord

I've been working that Pittsburgh steel, I thought you knowed
I've been a dumping that red-hot slag, way down the road
I've been a blasting, I've been a firing, I've been a pouring red-hot iron
I've been hitting some hard traveling, Lord

I've been laying in a hard-rock jail, I thought you knowed
I've been a laying out ninety days, way down the road
Damned old judge, he said to me: "It's ninety days for vagrancy!"
And I've been hitting some hard traveling, Lord

I've been walking that Lincoln highway, I thought you knowed
I've been hitting that sixty-six, way down the road
Heavy load and a worried mind, looking for a woman that's hard to find
I've been hitting some hard traveling, Lord
