Out on the road servin' out my time Out on the road servin' out my time And the Delta women was tryin' to run me down How long, pray God, how long? How long, how long, pray God, how long? Can I be here rollin' when your man is gone? I'm goin' away, may get lonesome here I'm goin' away, may get lonesome here I'm goin' away, babe, may get lonesome here I got up this morning, blues all 'round my bed Got up this morning, blues all 'round my bed I read a letter that my gal was dead Eagle been here, built a nest and gone Eagle been here, built a nest and gone And you know by that I ain't goin' be here long Throw your arms round like circle round the moon Throw your arms round like circle round the moon Throw your arms round me like a circle round the moon
