Goin’ down the road, Lawd, <br />Goin’ down the road. <br />Down the road, Lawd, <br />Way,way down the road. <br />Got to find somebody <br />To help me carry this load. <br /> <br />Road’s in front o’ me, <br />Nothin’ to do but walk. <br />Road’s in front of me, <br />Walk…an’ walk…an’ walk. <br />I’d like to meet a good friend <br />To come along an’ talk. <br /> <br />Hates to be lonely, <br />Lawd, I hates to be sad. <br />Says I hates to be lonely, <br />Hates to be lonely an’ sad, <br />But ever friend you finds seems <br />Like they try to do you bad. <br /> <br />Road, road, road, O! <br />Road, road…road…road, road! <br />Road, road, road, O! <br />On the no’thern road. <br />These Mississippi towns ain’t <br />Fit fer a hoppin’ toad.<br /><br />Langston Hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bound-no-th-blues/
