The Very Best Of
Hard Luck Blues - Wynonie Harris
Well rocks in my pillow
The cold ground is my bed
The highway is my home
So I might as well be dead
I'm walkin' and walkin'
Seems I have no place to go
My mother's dead and gone;
Father throwed me from his door
I got one pair of shoes
Don't even have a change of clothes
I got one pair of shoes
Don't even have a change of clothes
And this road I gotta travel
Is so muddy and cold
Well I'm gonna get religion
Learn how to pray
I need help bad
Lord and that is the only way
I'm travelin' and travelin';
Seems the road has got no end
And I ain't got nobody
In this mean old world to call my friend
I got so much trouble
Sometimes I could cry
I got so much trouble
Sometimes I could cry
I'm gonna find my mother's grave
Fall on the tombstone and die
