The Road Is Rough - John Lee Hooker

When I first started a’hoboin', a freight train was my only friend

When I first started hoboin', a freight train was my only friend

But next time I hobo, oh boy, gonna have my baby by my side

mother, she won’t have to worry no more

Mmm, Lord have mercy, baby

Don’t make my mother cry

I ain’t gonna hobo after this time, ain’t gonna hobo no more

Oh but I am!

Have mercy!

The road is so rough!

I said, Lord have mercy, I ain’t gonna hobo no more, baby

Mmm, baby, honey, child, I an’t gonna hobo no more

So many nights baby, you know we was all alone
