Roadhouse Blues

[Verse 1]
The moon is risin'
An' it done got lonesome here
I said, the moon's been risin', baby
An' it done got lonesome here
Although you're a long ways from me
But baby, I wish you were near

[Verse 2]
If I ever get lucky, yeah
An' win my train fare home
Well, if I ever get lucky, buddy
An' win my train fare home
Oh, the moment that I do, darlin'
You can say your man is comin' home, yeah

[Verse 3]
It's so hard
Tryin' to make it all by yourself, yeah
I said, it's so hard, yeah, yeah
Tryin' to make it all by yourself, yeah
Oh, an' the woman that you're really lovin'
She done gone off with someone else, mm

[Verse 4]
There's no use to cryin', oh
'Cause your cryin' won't help you none, woo!
Hey, I said it's no use in cryin', buddy
Because your cryin' won't help you none
You'll fall in love again
An' she'll keep you always on the run, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
I say, if I ever get lucky, yeah, that's my son!
An' win my train fare home, ooh Lordy
Have you ever felt like that?
Oh, if I ever get lucky, buddy, yeah
An' win my train fare home, yeah, yeah
Oh, the day that I do, angel
You can bet your life old Albert is gone, yeah

[Verse 6]
Oh, when ya see me comin', baby, yeah
I want you to raise your window high, woo!
Hey, when ya see me comin' home, baby
I want you to raise your window high, yeah, yeah
But when I turn to leave, little girl
I want you to hang your head and cry, woo, Lord have mercy!
