Dark Road - Little Walter, Floyd Jones

Ooh, I can’t go down

This dark road by myself

This dark road by myself

Gonna be early in the morning, oooh

It’s gonna be early in the morning, oooh

Gon' carry somebody else

Ooh, my mother died and left me

Ooh, when I was quite young

When I was quite young

Said «Lord have mercy, ooh»

Said «Lord have mercy, ooh

On my wicked son»

Ooh stop the train, conductor

Conductor, oh let me ride

Let the poor boy ride

«You have to buy your ticket, ooh

You have to buy your ticket, ooh

Son the train ain’t none of mine»

Ooh, I started walking down this lonesome road

Now don’t you hear me crying?

And I started walking

Down this long, lonesome road

Gonna be early in the morning, ooh

Boys, you’ll see me go
