The Last Mile Songtext
von Jimmy Witherspoon

Me And Billy Boy And Old Lady Jane
We Hitched A Ride Took A Fast Movin′ Train
Got To The Top With Our Heads Spinin' Round
Youi Never Know Just What You Got Until You′re Coming Back
Down On The Farmland Mississippi Shade
The Folks Down There They Told Me Take It Day By Day
And Walk The Last Mile
Before I Sleep
It'll Be A While
Before I Get My Peace
With The Same Style
I Walked For Years
On The Last Mile
I Can Rest My Fears
I Got A Long Way To Go Before I Reach The Light Of Day
Monkey's On My Back I Got To Find A Better Way
Same Old Story You Never Get Just What You Want
The More You Get The More You Want
Sometimes You Do And Then You Don′t
I Guess I′ve Always Been A Travelling Man


Cause When I'm Moving I Can Make A Stand
And Walk The Last Mile
Before I Sleep
It′ll Be A While
Before I Get My Peace
With The Same Style
I Walked For Years
On The Last Mile
I Can Rest My Fears
Don't Know Where I′m Going
But I Know Where I've Been
Look Around Me
Everybody′s Trying To Win
I Guess I've Always Been A Travelling Man
Cause When I'm Moving I Can Make A Stand
And Walk The Last Mile
Before I Sleep
It′ll Be A While
Before I Get My Peace
With The Same Style
I Walked For Years
On The Last Mile
I Can Rest My Fears
