Lyrics
(Verse1)
I've been travelin' so long! Boss man beat me down!...He's wrong.
Took my days and my nights away! Man shouldn't have to live this way!..O' Lord!..O' Lord!
(Verse2)
I've been travelin' too long! Girl up and left me!..She's gone.
Took my dog and my mule away! All she left me was these bales of
hay!...O' Lord!...O' Lord!...O' Lord!..O' Lord!
Make me a brighter day! Help me Lord!
