There are some subtleties I can't seem to work out Correction to lyrics welcome. Hitch Hike Fever by John Herald? Now come and gather all round me, And listen to my tale of woe, I got some good advice to give you, And a lot of things you ought to know, Take a tip from one who's travelled, and never started taggin round? You're li'ble t'get the hitchhike fever boys, And then you'll never settle down, I got a'hitchin with a gal named Cellie Who fin'ly said she'd take the plane, I said "you're just gonna waste a lot of time and money," And I said "I'll beat you all the same," Well I met her at the hotel in Denver, I guess I must have won the bet, Cos by the time she arrived, I was shaved and shined, Eatin' room service food in bed, …. Yodel Now if you want a great vacation, And you want to see the world out there, You can get to know all about this country and never pay a dollar fare, But be careful with the hitchhike fever Before you start to taggin round You're liable t'get the wanderin' fever boys, And then you'll never settle down, Yeah now you've heard of hitchhike fever And I hope you'll never go astray, Right now I hear the traffic rollin at us , And soon I'll be on my way But if you want to do me a real kind favour honey Before you lay me down to die Dig my grave beside the highway honey So I can hear the cars go by … Yodel |

That's one complete verse. That should be enough for some clever person (more clever than I) to work out the chords. A review says the tune is very similar to RAILROAD BOOMER as sung by Goebel Reeves—but I'm not familiar with that tune either. Verse 1 line 6 should be "And never start hitchhikin' round." |

Got some good advice to give you, Lots of things you oughta know. Take a tip from one who's traveled, Never stopped a ramblin' 'round: Once you get that roamin' fever You'll never want to settle down boys Never want to settle down. Never settle down, no You'll never want to settle down Once you've got that roamin' fever You'll never want to settle down. I can't seem to put the chords in without a guitar in my hands and I'm at the library right now, but there are only C,G,F & Am in the key of C. |
