could someone write the lyrics of this song? do not quite understand

[vitorsuman]

@ojoinos Well I ain't goin' down by that big road by myself / Lord, can't get my baby, gonna carry somebody else / Well the sun gonna shine into my back door someday / Well big wind is gonna come and blow my blues away / Big Eighty left Savanah, lord, he did not stop, you oughta saw that colored fireman when he got the boiler hot / Well, reach in the corner mama, hand me my travellin' shoes / Well you know 'bout that I got the ol' big road blues - and then he repeats the first verses again.

i like Straight Ahead alot better than this. I prefer Alan's singing over Bob's as well.

[ojoinos]

excellent melody!

Everything is great up to the guitar break, which doesn't fit the blues root.

I like this version. I think CH captured the essence of the original and added their own to it.

here's an audio of Tommy Johnson's original
