canned heat - on the road again (rock lent) 1968 @
but I'm out on the road again
I ain't got no woman
And my dear mother left me
On the Road Again est une adaptation d'une chanson de blues écrite par Floyd Jones en 1953, elle-même adaptée d'un de ses propres succès, Dark Road, datant en 1951. Ces deux compositions s'inspirent de la chanson Big Road Blues de Tommy Johnson de 1928. Cette adaptation par Alan Wilson suit la logique propre à la formation même du groupe puisque Canned Heat est un groupe de blues-rock, dont l'origine se situe dans les communautés de passionnés de blues, et dont les inspirations sont principalement issues du blues du Mississippi.
Well, I'm so tired of crying
but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
Well, I'm so tired of crying
but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
I ain't got no woman
just to call my special friend
You know the first time I traveled
out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
You know the first time I traveled
out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
I didn't have no payroll,
not even no place to go
And my dear mother left me
when I was quite young
When I was quite young
And my dear mother left me
when I was quite young
When I was quite young
(When I was quite young)
She said: "Lord, have mercy
on my wicked son"
Take a hint from me, mama,
please, don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more
Take a hint from me, mama,
please, don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more
Cause it's soon one morning
down the road I'm going
But I ain't going down
that long old lonesome road
All by myself
But I ain't going down
that long old lonesome road
All by myself
I can't carry you, baby, gonna carry somebody else
