Down The Big Road Blues by Mattie Delaney

Mattie Delaney - Down The Big Road Blues; G position, standard tuning.

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 long?", and he said, "All night"

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

If you don't take me back, daddy, sure gon' lose my mind

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 had a happy home, and I wouldn't stay there
