Travelin' Down the Road

Traveling down the road, Traveling down the road
Happiest times, ever I had was, Traveling down the road

Dig my eyed potatoes, roast them in the sand
Bake my raccoon for the fun, call it bony ham?

Spoken: Got done laying by corn last week, come riding down the lane on my old mule sideways
I met my true love, she's says, "Hon you do look, just as loose, as loose as a goose"

Traveling down the road, Traveling down the road
Happiest times, ever I had was, Traveling down the road

Hardest work, ever I done, was digging round that pine
Easiest work ever I done, handling that lady's smile

Spoken: I went on down by her home with her and she invited me in to dinner. The old lady had flapjacks and 'lasses for dinner.I set down for to eat, and I says, "Mother, old lady, your flapjacks and 'lasses are just as loose, as loose as a goose"

Traveling down the road, Traveling down the road
Happiest times, ever I had was, Traveling down the road

Wish I was in heaven, setting in a chair
Glass of wine in each hand, talking to my dear

Traveling down the road, Traveling down the road
Happiest times, ever I had was, Traveling down the road

Spoken: While I was down to home, I was walking around out in the yard, had a little dog been sucking eggs and killing young chickens, been hanging about three days, but he did hang just as loose as loose as a goose

My wife died Friday night, Saturday she was buried
Sunday was my courting day, Monday I got married

Traveling down the road, Traveling down the road
Happiest times, ever I had was, Traveling down the road

Spoken: Tuesday night I came in a little drunk, she commenced arguing with me, but I soon saw that her tongue was, just so loose that it wasn't no use

Traveling down the road, Traveling down the road
Happiest times, ever I had was, Traveling down the road

Traveling down the road, Traveling down the road
Happiest times, ever I had was, Traveling down the road
