Looked down that long old lonesome road

Looked down that long old lonesome road

My poor feet is gettin' tired, but still I've got to go



There's no train to my home town, ain't but the one way to go

There's no train to my home town, ain't but the one way to go

That's mile after mile, trampin' that muddy road



It's just one thing, that worries me both night and day

Ain't but one thing, that worries me both night and day

There's a place they call Death Valley, and it's just halfway



You can't see a house, in twenty-five miles around

I can't see nobody, goin' towards my ol' home town

I've still got three hundred miles to go, and my poor feet is giving down



I can hear the wild cats and panthers, howl when the sun go down

Can you hear the wild cats and panthers, howlin' when the sun go down

And I've got to go through Death Valley, to get to my old home town



I've been trampin' this lonely road, forty nights and days

My poor legs is gettin' tired, don't help me someways

Cause I've got three hundred miles to go, trampin' in this mud and clay
