HARD TRAVELING
Words and Music: Woody Guthrie I've been having some hard traveling, way down the road, I've been having some hard traveling, hard rambling, hard gambling, I've been hitting some hard traveling, Lord. I've been riding them fast rattlers, I thought you knowed I've been riding them flat wheelers way down the road, I've been riding them blind passengers, dead enders, picking up cinders, I've been having some hard traveling, Lord. Well, I've been hitting some hard rock mining, I thought you knowed I've been leaning on a pressure drill way down the road, Hammer flying and air hose sucking, six foot of mud and I sure been a-mucking and And I've been hitting some hard traveling, Lord. I've been hitting some hard harvesting, I thought you knowed, North Dakota to Kansas City, way down the road, Cutting that wheat and stacking that hay; and trying to make about a dollar a day, And I've been having some hard traveling, Lord. I've been working that Pittsburgh steel, I thought you knowed, I've been pouring redhot slag, way down the road, I've been blasting, l've been firing, l've been pouring redhot iron, And I've been having some hard traveling, Lord. Well, I been laying in a hardrock jail, I thought you knowed, I been laying out ninety days, way down that road, Damn old judge he said to me, It's ninety days for vagrancy, And l've been hitting some hard traveling, Lord.
