Oh lord I tried so hard
in this world to get along with you
Oh lord I tried so hard
Well now you know I got the blues
I give you everything you need
Mmmhmm, but you drive me away
I would do anything you say...
further you drive me away, oh yeah
You know I finally learned a lesson
I should of learned a long time ago
That if you don't love me darlin'
Down the road I go
...
I used to have a mule they called the Old Devil
Yeah I had that mule
And I used to like a woman I called her Loo Devil
I tried in this world hard to get along with you
...
That fool rooster crow for day
Where my baby she used to lay
She lives down by the railroad track
Whoa go get my baby back
...
Whoa I tried so hard
in this world to get along with you
Oh lord I tried so hard
Well now you know I got the blues
I give you everything you need
Mmmhmm, but you drive me away
I would do anything you say
Further you drive me away oh yeah
You know I finally learned a lesson
I should of learned a long time ago
That if you don't love me darlin'
Down the road I go
...
Oooh whoa whoa

Whoa hooo
Well not anymore you crying pretty woman now
Down the road I go
