Terraplane Blues

And I feel so lonesome
You hear me when I moan
When I feel so lonesome
You hear me when I moan
Who been drivin' my Terraplane
For you since I been gone
I'd said I flash your lights, mama
Your horn won't even blow
(Spoken: Somebody's been runnin' my batteries down on this machine)

I even flash my lights, mama
This horn won't even blow
Got a short in this connection
Hoo-well, babe, it's way down below

I'm on'h'ist your hood, mama
I'm bound to check your oil
I'm on'h'ist your hood, mama-mmm
I'm bound to check your oil
I got a woman that I'm lovin'
Way down in Arkansas

Now, you know the coils ain't even buzzin'
Little generator won't get the spark
Motor's in a bad condition, you gotta have
These batteries charged
But I'm cryin', please
Plea-hease don't do me wrong
Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for
You-hoo since I've been gone

Mr. Highway man
Plea-hease don't block the road
Puh hee hee
Plea-hease don't block the road
Cause she's re'ist'rin a cold one hundred
And I'm booked and I got to go

Mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
You ooo ooo ooo
You hear me weep and moan
Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for
You-hoo since I been gone

I'm on get deep down in this connection
Keep tanglin' with your wires
I'm on get deep down in this connection
Hoo-well, keep tanglin' with these wires
And when I mash down on your little starter
Then your spark plug will give me fire
