Big Joe Williams — 49 Highway Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Well I’ll get up in the morning: catch the Highway
Forty‑Nine
Well well I’m going to look for little Malvina: ooo man
don’t say she can’t be found
I got a long tall woman: live on Highway Forty‑Nine
Well well I get up in the morning: ooo Lord boys she’s
down on my mind
Malvina my sweet woman: she don’t pay me no mind
You got poor Joe walking down woman: ooo Lord Highway
Forty‑Nine
get up in the morning Malvina: I believe I’ll dust my bed
I’m going down Highway Forty‑Nine: boys I’m going to be rocking to my head
If you ever get the blues: catch the Highway Forty‑Nine
Well Malvina my sweet woman: ooo Lord boys she don’t pay
me no mind
Soon this morning boys: I may roll in Jackson town
I done got tired of laying around: walking that Highway
Forty‑Nine
I’m standing in Chicago mama: New Orleans on my mind
Malvina she’s my sweet woman: she on Highway Forty‑Nine
