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 Terraplane

for you since I been gone

I'd said I flash your lights, mama

your horn won't even blow

(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 on'h'ist your hood, mama

I'm bound to check your oil

I'm on'h'ist 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', please

plea-hease don't do me wrong

Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for

you-hoo since I've been gone

Mr. Highway man

plea-hease don't block the road

Puh hee hee

plea-hease don't block the road

Cause she's re'ist'rin a cold one hundred

and I'm booked and I got to go

Mmm mmm

mmm mmm mmm

You ooo ooo ooo

You hear me weep and moan

Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for

you-hoo since I been gone

I'm on get deep down in this connection

keep tanglin' with your wires

I'm on get deep down in this connection

hoo-well, keep tanglin' with these wires

And when I mash down on your little starter

then your spark plug will give me fire
