I been a-havin'some hard travellin', I thought you knowed, I been a-havin'some hard travellin', way down the road, I been a-havin'some hard travellin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin', I been havin'some hard travellin', Lord. I been a-workin'in a hard rock tunnel, I thought you knowed, I been a-leanin'on a pressure drill, way down the road, Hammer flyin', air hose suckin', six feet of mud, I sure been a-muckin' I been havin'some hard travellin', Lord. I been a-workin'that Pittsburg sttel, I thought you knowed, I been workin'that red-hot slag, way down the road, I been a-blastin', I been a-firin', I been a-duckin'red-hot iron, I been havin'some hard travellin', Lord. I been hittin'some hard harvestin', I thought you knowed, I been hittin'some rough handlin', way down the road, Cut that wheat and stack that hay, tryin'to make about a dollar a day, I been havin'some hard travellin', Lord. I been hittin'that Lincoln Highway, I thought you knowed, I been a-hittin'that sixty-six, way down the road, Heavy load and worried mind, lookin'for a woman that's hard to find, I been havin'some hard travellin', Lord.
