Lyrics One Room Country Shack - John Lee Hooker

A thousand miles from nowhere
One room country shack
Almost a thousand miles from nowhere
One room lil' country shack
No one to talk to, and no one to keep me company

All day long, I drag an eleven-foot cotton sack
All day long, I drag an eleven-foot cotton sack
I drug'd it so long, you know it done made my shoulder sore
Have mercy

No one to talk to me at night
The frogs and crickets callin' round my door, hahaha
No one to talk to me at night
The frogs and triggers howlin' round my door
I got to find me a companionship
Before I go out of my mind
Out a cloud, oh yeah

I hear you!

Help!

Looky here now, I gotta find me a companionship
I don't care whether she's deaf, dumb and blind
I gotta find me a companionship, people
I don't care whether she's deaf, dumb and blind
I gotta find me somebody, before I go out'a my mind

A thousand miles from nowhere
In the one room lil' country shack
A thousand miles from nowhere
In a one room country shack
I'm tired of being alone

One room, one room
Little country shack
