Hard Travellin'

Hard Travellin' - Woody Guthrie

I've been havin' some hard travelin' I thought you knowed

I've been havin' 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 knowed

I've been ridin' them flat wheelers way down the road

I've been ridin' them blind passengers dead-enders kickin' up cinders

I've been havin' some hard travelin' lord

I've been hittin' some hard-rock minin' I thought you knowed

I've been leanin' on a pressure drill way down the road

Hammer flyin' air-hole suckin' six foot of mud and I shore been a muckin'

And I've been hittin' some hard travelin' lord

I've been hittin' some hard harvestin' I thought you knowed

North Dakota to Kansas City way down the road

Cuttin' that wheat stackin' that hay and I'm tryin' make about a dollar a day

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

I've been working that Pittsburgh steel I thought you knowed

I've been a dumpin' that red-hot slag way down the road

I've been a blasting I've been a firin' I've been a pourin' red-hot iron

I've been hittin' some hard travelin' lord

I've been layin' in a hard-rock jail I thought you knowed

I've been a laying out 90 days way down the road

Damned old judge he said to me

It's 90 days for vagrancy

And I've been hittin' some hard travelin' lord
