Hard Traveling
Cisco Houston
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I've been doin' some hard travelin' I thought you knowed I've been doin' some hard ramblin' way down the road Hard travelin' hard ramblin' hard drinkin' hard gamblin' I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord I've been doin' some hard rock minin' I thought you knowed I've been leanin' on a pressure drill way down the road Well the hammer flying and the air hose suckin' And six feet of mud, I sure been muckin' I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord I've been workin' that Pittsburgh steel I thought you knowed I've been pourin' that red-hot slag way down the road I been blastin' I've been firin' I've been pourin' red-hot iron I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord I've been layin' in a hard rock jail I thought you knowed I've been layin' out ninety days way down the road The darned old judge he said to me it's ninety days for vagrancy And I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord I've been walkin' that Lincoln highway I thought you knowed And I've been hittin' that sixty six way down the road Got a heavy load got a worried mind I'm a' lookin' for a woman that's hard to find And I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord I've been doin' some hard travelin' I've been havin' some hard ramblin' I've been doin' some hard traveling I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord (The following two verses are not included in the performance on the CD Best of Vanguard Years. But are on Folkways) I've been ridin' them fast passengers I thought you knowed I've been hittin' them flat wheelers way down the road I've been ridin' them blind passengers dead enders kickin' up cinders I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord I've been doin' some hard harvestin' I thought you knowed From North Dakota to Kansas City way down the road Cuttin' that wheat and stackin' that hay just tryin' to make 'bout a dollar a day And I've been doin' some hard harvestin' Lord ***************************************** Of note: If any song could be a signature tune, this would certainly be Cisco's. One of Woody's best songs, and a performance that Cisco certainly was pleased with, as he named one of his LPs after it. Captures the flavor and the sweat without glamorizing or fantasizing. It is THE song of the Open Road.
