Mattie Delaney — Down The Big Road Blues lyrics

Lyrics

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
