Packin' up my trouble, movin' on down the road
Uh um mm, movin' on down the road
Yeah, I'm lookin' for a place, child, to dump this heavy load
Yeah, why do I worry, why do I have to cry?
Oh ho, why do I worry, oh, why do I have to cry?
You know I was good to the man I love, I wonder why did he have to
say goodbye
Oh ho, why do I have to carry this heavy load
Oh ho, why do I have to carry this heavy load
Say I'm gonna keep on travelin', down this old lonesome road
Hey, hey, hey, I get worried sometime
You know my burden is gettin' awful heavy
Lord I know I'm so weary, you know, my baby's gone
Oh, but my burden's heavy
Hey, hey, travelin' on down this lonesome road
Travelin' on down that lonesome road
Yeah, hey, baby, I got to ease my heavy load
