This it?

DOWN THE ROAD

I remember back before the war,
I had trouble knocking at my door,
But along come Father Abraham,
With a pistol in his hand.
Ooh baby, down the road I'm bound to go.

It all began with Captain Brown,
The man who turned this world around.
Now you got yours and I got mine -
The bottom rail's on top this time.
Ooh baby, down the road I'm bound to go.

I had to work from can to can't
When Mister Charlie ran the ranch.
Now I don't hold with any such -
Shake hands and thank you very much.
Ooh baby, down the road I'm bound to go.

Now I can see my jubilee -
It's hanging from an apple tree.
I'm headed for the promised land
And traveling natural like a man.
Ooh, down the road I'm bound to go.

I can make the mountain ring,
The valley vibrate like a string.
Goodbye honey, call it gone -
My kingdom come behind a song.
Ooh baby, down the road I'm bound to go.

I remember back before the war,
I had trouble knocking at my door,
But along come Father Abraham,
With a pistol in his hand.
Ooh baby, down the road I'm bound to go

From here:

Down The Road

Cheers!
