Hard Travelin’ Songtext
von Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs

I′ve been a havin' some hard travelin′ I thought you know
I've been a havin' some hard travelin′ way down the road
I′ve been a havin' some hard travelin′ hard ramblin' hard gamblin′
I've been a havin′ some hard travelin' Lord
Well I've been a ridin′ them fast rattlers I thought you know
I′ve been a ridin' them blind passengers way down the road
I′ve been a ridin' them dead ends and flat wheelers kickin′ up cinders
I've been a havin′ some hard travelin' Lord
[ Banjo - dobro ]
Well I've been a layin′ in a hard rock jeil I thought you know
I′ve been a layin' there ninety days way down the road
Mean old judge said to me it′s ninety days for vagrancy
I've been a havin′ some hard travelin' Lord


I′ve been a workin' at Pittsburgh Steel I thought you know
I've been a dumpin′ that red hot slag way down the road
I′ve been a blastin' I′ve been firin' I′ve been a pourin' that red hot iron
I′ve been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord
[ Banjo - fiddle ]
I′ve been a hittin′ some hard harvest and I thought you know
North Dakota to Kansas City way down the road
Cuttin' that wheat stackin′ that hay tryin' to make about a dollar a day
I′ve been a havin' some hard travelin′ Lord
I've been a workin' on Lincoln Highway I thought you know
I′ve been a hitchin′ on 66 way down the road
Heavy load and worried mind lookin' for woman that′s hard to find
I've been a havin′ some hard travelin' Lord
