Piggyback Blues Songtext
von Red Simpson

I got the piggy back blues what′s a feller to do
When the cab of a truck's been his home
I got the piggy back blues I gotta change my ways
′Cause the long hauls are gone

Well the boss called us in about a month ago
Said fellas the long hauls are through
Take your trailer to the railroad yard
There's a flat car a waitin' for you
There′s a flat car a waitin′ for you
I'd like to see Mary in Abilene and Susie in Omaha
I′d like to see Janie in Albuquerque and Betty in Wichita
And Betty in Wichita


I got the piggy back blues what's a feller to do
When the cab of a truck′s been his home
I got the piggy back blues I gotta change my ways
'Cause the long hauls are gone

Well these piggy back cars are gonna change my life
I′ll have to start switchin' around
I'll have to get the kicks that I miss so much
In the places on the outskirts of town
Yeah the places on the outskirts of town

I got the piggy back blues what′s a feller to do
When the cab of a truck′s been his home
I got the piggy back blues I gotta change my ways
'Cause the long hauls are gone
