[Verse 1] I looked down the road, Lord, far as I could see I looked down the road, Lord, far as I could see And I saw my man wavin' farewell to me [Verse 2] I laid and I worried, cried the whole night through I laid and I worried, cried the whole night through Tryin' to figure out, sweet papa, how to get along with you [Verse 3] I ain't going to Texas, ain't going to Tennessee I ain't going to Texas, ain't going to Tennessee But I'm going down the road and tryin' to find my used-to-be [Verse 4] I'm worried now, but I won't be when the sun goes down I'm worried now, won't be when the sun goes down Poor mama's got the blues and mama's going to find her brown [Verse 5] Going down the road and ain't comin' back 'til fall Going down the road, ain't comin' back 'til fall If I don't find my man, I ain't comin' back at all [Verse 6] Started to write a letter, had to lay my pencil down Started to write a letter, had to lay my pencil down 'Cause the blues overtook me, and I'm down the road bound
