Highway Man Blues - Jimmy Dawkins

They call me highway man

Because you know I’m always on the go

Yeah, they call me highway man

Boys, I’m always on the go

Well, you know my friends act a little funny these days

Seems like I ain’t welcome back in this town no more

Highway man

Oh, I just got to be on the run

Highway man — that’s what I am

You know I just got to always be on the run

Well, I just got to …

Someday I’ll be able to lay down and rest down in …

They say:

«Somewhere over the rainbow — you just might find a little part to go.»

«Somewhere over the rainbow — son, you might be able to find a little part to

go.»

I had the blues, it worries so

Got to find somewhere to rest my soul

Highway man

Yes, you know that’s just what I am

Highway man

Yeah, you know that’s just what I am

Well, I tried to be a nice little boy

Yes, I treated everybody like a lamb

Highway man, always on the go

Highway man, yeah, always on the go

Well, I tell all you friends: don’t worry about me

I was born to be on the go

Yeah, you know I’m always on the run
