Well I get up in the morning, catch the Highway 49
Well, well, I'm gonna look for little Malvina, hoo, man, don't say she can not be found
I got a long tall woman, live on Highway 49 (Spoken: Aw, shucks, man!)
I got a long tall woman, hoo, live on Highway 49
Well, well, I get up in the mornin', hoo, Lord, boys, she down on my mind
Malvina, my sweet woman, she don't pay me no mind
Hoo, Lord, Malvina, she don't pay me no mind (Spoken: Play it, Joe, how you doin' it)
You got poor Joe walkin' down, woman, ooo, Lord, Highway 49
I'm gon' get up in the mornin', Malvina, I believe I'll dust my bed
Ooo, Lord, I'm gonna get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my bed
I'm gwine down Highway 49 border, I'm gonna be rockin' to my head
If you ever get the blues, catch the Highway 49 (Spoken: Play it now, boy, have some fun)
If you ever get the blues, catch the Highway 49

Soon this mornin', boys, I may roll in Jackson town
