Subject: Lyr Add: On the Road Again (from Canned Heat)
From: Joe Offer
Date: 02 Sep 23 - 12:44 AM

ON THE ROAD AGAIN
(as recorded by Canned Heat)

Well, I'm so tired of crying
But I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
Well, I'm so tired of crying
But I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
I ain't got no woman
Just to call my special friend

You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
I didn't have no payroll
Not even no place to go

And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young
When I was quite young
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young
When I was quite young
She said "Lord, have mercy
On my wicked son"

Take a hint from me, mama
Please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more
Take a hint from me, mama
Please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more
'Cause it's soon one morning
Down the road I'm going

But I ain't going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
But I ain't going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
I can't carry you, baby
Gonna carry somebody else

Here's the recording Luigi refers to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkU6keCtkzE

It's quite different from the lyrics I posted above, but I think it's the same song. Can anybody work out a transcription?

I did find transcriptions of a couple of verses from Floyd Jones:

“Whoaa well my mother died and left me
Ohh when I was quite young, when I was quite young …
Said Lord have mercy ooo, on my wicked son”

“Whoaa I had to travel, whoaa in the rain and snow in the rain and snow
My baby had quit me ooo (2×)
Have no place to go.”

These verses are from an analysis of various versions of the song from here (click)

Joe, I have a good start at this, but there's a spot a little over 2 minutes in that's eluding me. I am out of town at the moment, but will have to listen again with better speakers and headphones at home and will get back to you.

Al Wilson wrote or rather re wrote 'On the road again'. The record company is alleged to have taken the copyright and the song writing rights from him, and also his royalties. I'm not sure but his family were alleged to have been involved somewhere, If you read Fito de la Parra's biography 'Living the blues' it gives the details. I understand it was a series of sales, company wind ups and re-sales. The chapter entitled 'We are not a royalties company' is quite revealing.

Wilson's harmonica solo has a note that is not playable without an overblow; he re-tuned his harmonica's six hole up a half step. Wow that explains it. I think harmonicas can be purchased with the retune from the factory now. I think I saw 'Nine below Zero' use one.

Here's my transcription of the above. It's not exactly the same, but some of the lyrics are shared. Canned Heat, Led Zeppelin, and many, many others, stole and made popular many a blues song.

There's a vinyl set from Japan off the "P-Vine Special" label (click) which has a lyrics sheet, but I've been unable to find a picture in a resolution discernable to the human eye.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN
(Floyd Jones)

Woah, I'm tired of worrying and crying
Boys, I'm out on the road again
On the road again

Worried about my baby
Worried about my baby
Don't feel like I have a friend

Lord, I had to travel
Woah, in the rain and snow -- in the rain and snow
My baby had quit me, my baby had quit me
Have no place to go

Woah, take a hint from me, God
Please don't cry no more -- don't cry no more
Gonna be a early, long morning
Walking in the old rain and snow

Woah, sunny lands will be there
A church bell will ring and toll -- gonna hear the church bell ring and toll
My little baby
My little baby
Boys, she's dead and gone
