Hard Travelling

Hard Travelling - Ramblin´ Jack Elliott

I've been havin' some hard travelin'

I thought you know

I've been hittin' some hard travelin'

Way down the road

I've been havin' some hard travelin'

Hard ramblin' hard gamblin'

I've been havin' some hard travelin' Lord

I've been ridin' them fast rattlers I thought you know

I've been ridin' them blind passengers way down the road

I've been ridin' them dead enders

Flat wheelers kickin' up cinders

I've been havin' some hard travelin' Lord

Well I've been hittin' some hard rock man

And I thought you know

I've been leanin' on the pressured grill

Way down the road

Hammer flyin' air hose suckin'

Six feet of mud and a shovel muggin'

And I've been havin' some hard travelin' Lord

I've been workin' at pittsburgh steel

I thought you know

I've been dumpin' red hot slag

Way down the road

I've been blastin' I've been firin'

I've been a pourin' that red hot iron

And I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord

I've been layin' in a hard rock jail

I thought you know

I've been layin' there ninety days

Way down the road

And a mean old judge said to me

It's ninety days for vagrancy

And I've been havin' some hard travelin' Lord

Well I've been hittin' some hard harvest

And I thought you know

North Dakota to Kansas City

Way down the road

Cuttin' that wheat and stackin' that hay

And tryin' to make 'bout a dollar a day

And I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord

I've been workin' on lincoln highway

I thought you know

I've been hitchin' on 66 way down the road

Heavy load and worried mind lookin' for a woman

That's hard to find

I've been havin' some hard travelin' Lord
