Down the Big Road Blues

I can't go down that big road by myself
I can't go down that big road by myself
If I can't carry you, I carry someone else

I asked him, "how 'bout it?", And he said, "all right"
I asked him, "how 'bout it?", And he said, "all right"
I asked him, "how long?", And he said, "all night"

I asked him, "how 'bout it?", Said he didn't know how
I asked him, "how 'bout it?", Said he didn't know how
"But I will do you, mama, like a calf would do a cow"

I feel like cryin', ain't got no tears to spare
I feel like cryin', ain't got no tears to spare
I had a happy home, but I wouldn't stay there

My mother said six months before I was born
My mother said six months before I was born
She was gonna have a girl child, wouldn't never stay at home

I can't go down that big road by myself
I can't go down that big road by myself
If I can't carry you, I carry someone else
