Look Down the Road Songtext
von Skip James

Looked down the road
Far as my eyes could see, hey hey
Far as my eyes could see
And I couldn′t see nothin'
Looked like mine to me

I don′t want no woman
Stay out all night long, hey hey
She stay out all night long
I don't want no woman
Don't know right from wrong

I wouldn′t have a rooster
He won′t crow 'fore day, hey hey
He won′t crow 'fore day
I wouldn′t have a hen
Won't cackle when she lay


I don′t want no woman
Got hair like drops of rain, hey hey
Got hair like drops of rain
Boy, you know this a shame
It's a pit and a cryin' shame

I ain′t goin′ no higher
Comin' no lower down, hey hey
Comin′ no lower down
I'm goin′ to stand right here
Till my mustache drag the ground

Mama long
Papa short and so, hey hey
Papa short and so
She walk like my baby
Boy, she comin' too slow

I said I looked down the road
Far as my eyes could see, hey hey
Far as my eyes could
Then I couldn′t see nothin'
Looked like mine to me
