I'll Be On My Way Songtext
von The Del McCoury Band

Oh sir, we′ll be soon Mississippi bound
Another city and another town
My own true lover wants me to stay
But you know it won't be long, and I′ll be on my way

Through Pennsylvania, down in between
Cincinnati, Louisville to New Orleans


I'll keep your picture in the gold frame
While I make my livin' stokin′ flame
Every hour spent shovelin′ coal
You know I miss you, baby, with my heart and soul

I'll return to you someday
It won′t be long, and I'll be on my way

You know I′d stay here for a while
But that just ain't my style
To tell you that I′d stay is a game that I can't play
I'll be on my way

Through Pennsylvania, down in between
Cincinnati, Louisville to New Orleans
