Terraplane Blues

And I feel so lonesome, you hear me when I moan

When I feel so lonesome, you hear me when I moan

Who been drivin' my Terraplane1, for you since I been gone.

I'd said I flash your lights, mama, you horn won't even blow

(spoken: Somebody's been runnin' my batteries down on this machine)

I even flash my lights, mama, this horn won't even blow

Got a short in this connection, hoo well, babe, it's way down below

I'm gion' heist your hood, mama, I'm bound to check your oil

I'm goin' heist your hood, mama, mmm, I'm bound to check your oil

I got a woman that I'm lovin', way down in Arkansas

Now, you know the coils ain't even buzzin', little generator won't get the spark

Motor's in a bad condition, you gotta have these batteries charged

But I'm cryin', pleease, pleease don't do me wrong.

Who been drivin' my Terraplane1 now for, you since I been gone.

Mr. highway man, please don't block the road

Puh hee hee, please don't block the road

'Cause she's reachin' a cold one hundred and I'm booked and I got to go

Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

Yoo ooo ooo ooo, you hear me weep and moan

Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for, you since I been gone

I'm gon' get down in this connection, keep on tanglin' with your wires

I'm gon' get down in this connection, oh well, keep on tanglin' with these wires

And when I mash down on your little starter, then your spark plug will give me fire
