Songtexte: Flatt and Scruggs. Hard Travelin'.

I've been a havin' some hard travelin' I thought you know
I've been a havin' some hard travelin' way down the road
I've been a havin' some hard travelin' hard ramblin' hard gamblin'
I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord
Well I've been a ridin' them fast rattlers I thought you know
I've been a ridin' them blind passengers way down the road
I've been a ridin' them dead ends and flat wheelers kickin' up cinders
I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord
[ banjo - dobro ]
Well I've been a layin' in a hard rock jeil I thought you know
I've been a layin' there ninety days way down the road
Mean old judge said to me it's ninety days for vagrancy
I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord
I've been a workin' at Pittsburgh Steel I thought you know
I've been a dumpin' that red hot slag way down the road
I've been a blastin' I've been firin' I've been a pourin' that red hot iron
I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord

[ banjo - fiddle ]
I've been a hittin' some hard harvest and I thought you know
North Dakota to Kansas City way down the road
Cuttin' that wheat stackin' that hay tryin' to make about a dollar a day
I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord
I've been a workin' on Lincoln Highway I thought you know
I've been a hitchin' on 66 way down the road
Heavy load and worried mind lookin' for woman that's hard to find
I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord
