Terraplane Blues

    Terraplane Blues

    And I feel so lonesome

      you hear me when I moan
    When I feel so lonesome
      You hear me when I moan
    Who been drivin' my Terraplane
      for you since I been gone
    I'd said I flash your lights, mama
      your horn won't even blow
      spoken: Somebody's been runnin' my batteries
      down on this machine

    I even flash my lights, mama

      this horn won't even blow
    Got a short in this connection
      hoo-well, babe, it's way down below

    I'm on'h'ist your hood, mama

      I'm bound to check your oil
    I'm on'h'ist your hood, mama-mmm
      I'm bound to check your oil
    I got a woman that I'm lovin'
      way down in Arkansas

    Now, you know the coils ain't even buzzin'

      little generator won't get the spark
    Motor's in a bad condition, you gotta have
      these batteries charged
    But I'm cryin', please
      plea-hease don't do me wrong
    Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for
      you-hoo since I've been gone

    Mr. Highway man

      plea-hease don't block the road
    Puh hee hee
      plea-hease don't block the road
    Cause she's re'ist'rin a cold one hundred
      and I'm booked and I got to go

    Mmm mmm

      mmm mmm mmm
    You ooo ooo ooo
      You hear me weep and moan
    Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for
      you-hoo since I been gone

    I'm on get deep down in this connection

      keep tanglin' with your wires
    I'm on get deep down in this connection
      hoo-well, keep tanglin' with these wires
    And when I mash down on your little starter
      then your spark plug will give me fire
