Lyrics Down the Big Road Blues - Mattie Delaney

I can't go down that big road by myself
I can't go down that big road by myself
If I can't carry you, I carry someone else

I asked him, "How 'bout it?", and he said, "All right"
I asked him, "How 'bout it?", and he said, "All right"
I asked him, "How long?", and he said, "All night"

I asked him, "How 'bout it?", said he didn't know how
I asked him, "How 'bout it?", said he didn't know how
"But I will do you, mama, like a calf would do a cow"

I'm a travelin' woman, I got a travelin' mind
I'm a travelin' woman, I got a travelin' mind
If you don't take me back, daddy, sure gon' lose my mind

My Mother said six months before I was born
My Mother said six months before I was born
She were gonna have a good time, wouldn't never stay at home

I feel like cryin', ain't got no tears to spare
I feel like cryin', ain't got no tears to spare
I had a happy home, and I wouldn't stay there
