Down the Big Road Blues Songtext
von Mattie Delaney

I can′t go down that big road by myself
I can't go down that big road by myself
If I can′t carry you, I carry someone else

I asked him, "How 'bout it?", and he said, "All right"
I asked him, "How 'bout it?", and he said, "All right"
I asked him, "How long?", and he said, "All night"


I asked him, "How ′bout it?", said he didn′t know how
I asked him, "How 'bout it?", said he didn′t know how
"But I will do you, mama, like a calf would do a cow"

I'm a travelin′ woman, I got a travelin' mind
I′m a travelin' woman, I got a travelin' mind
If you don′t take me back, daddy, sure gon′ lose my mind

My Mother said six months before I was born
My Mother said six months before I was born
She were gonna have a good time, wouldn't never stay at home

I feel like cryin′, ain't got no tears to spare
I feel like cryin′, ain't got no tears to spare
I had a happy home, and I wouldn′t stay there
