Lyrics
I think my feet are froze / I've been walkin' for days out on this cold and lonely road / Nobody will pick me up / I'm headin' out West with my back toward the sun / I see a car comin' so I stick out my thumb / and I'm screamin' / Hey somebody, hey somebody / Will you pick me up? 'Cause I am down and out / Hey somebody, hey somebody / Will you keep me warm before the Northwind blows? / And I am dead and gone / I'm sure your mama told you not to talk to strangers / but may I be so bold to ask you a simple favor / Hold my hand for a minute or two / Let me pretend that I am you / I'm pleadin' / Hey somebody, hey somebody / Will you pick me up? 'Cause I am down and out / Hey somebody, hey somebody / Will you keep me warm before the Northwind blows? / And I am dead and gone / Sir I understand, no need to explain / Thank you but I've no need for your change / Money built this road I'm on / A helping hand is all I want
