4
Well now times got hard
5
And I didn't draw the card I needed
6
So I proceeded to bang it on down the line
7
Hitchhike, turnpike
8
And if you got room won't you let me ride?
9
Just as far as you're going
10
And lord knowing I'll be much obliged.
11
There was a light rain falling
12
I started recalling how lonesome a man can be
13
Feeling a chill When over the hill
14
Came a brand new baby blue Cadillac
15
Stop on a dime
16
I threw my guitar in the back and I climbed inside
17
Big Blue eyes said "Hey boy don't you want a ride?"
18
I Said to Birmingham, Alabama,
19
Or to Nashville Tennessee will do just fine with me.
20
Don't you know what I mean?
21
I'm coming from New Orleans.
22
Now hey, [na na.]
23
Mama won't you let me ride?
24
Well now black fur coat, diamond ring
25
Shining like something I ain't ever seen.
26
My old guitar and a roadside bar.
27
Walked in the door looking like a movie queen
28
There was a honky tonk jukebox, hardwood floor
29
She said "I ain't ever seen nothing like this before."
30
I said, "That's all right, mama won't you let me ride?"
31
On down to Birmingham, Alabama,
32
Or to Nashville Tennessee wiil do fine with me.
33
Don't you know what I mean?
34
I'm coming from New Orleans.
35
Now hey, [na na.]
36
Mama won't you let me ride?
