Hard Luck Blues Songtext
von Amos Milburn

Well, the rock is my pillow
The cold ground is my bed
Highway is my home
So I might as well be dead
I′m walking and walking
Seems I have no place to go
My mother's dead and gone
Papa drove me from his door
Got one pair of shoes
Don′t even have a change of clothes
Got one pair of shoes
Don't even have a change of clothes
And this road I've got to travel Is so muddy and so cold
Well, I′m gonna get religion
Learn how to pray
I need help bad
And that′s the only way I'm travelling
Seems like the road ain′t got no end
I know I ain't got nobody
In this mean old world to call my friend
I′ve got so much trouble
Sometimes I could cry
I've got to find my mother′s grave
Follow the tombstone until I die
