I’m a highway man

Travel that highway all the way down

I’m a highway man

Travel that highway all the way down

I travel that road

'Till my baby couldn’t be found

Now, yon' come that greyhound

Wit' his tongue stickin' out on the side

Yes, Good God a-Mighty, now

Yon' come that greyhound

Wit' his tongue stickin' out on the side

If you buy yo' ticket, swear 'fore God

That man will let you ride

My babe have a one five dollars

Spent on me a Luxury Fo'

My babe have one five dollars

Spent on me on a V8 Fo'

So I can meet that Greyhound bus

Comin' down that highway road

Yeah

Anytime you get funny, now

An you don’t wanna have no fun

Anytime yo' woman get’s funny, now

Witchin' on me

She don’t want you to have a bit-a fun

Get in little Tommy, little boat

Steal on that Highway, One

'Yeah, play 'em now'

(guitar)

Yeah

I got a little cabin

On Highway One

I got a little cabin

It’s on that highway road

Anytime you get you a woman

That’s all the fer you can go.
