Lord Mary took to running with a travelin man

Left her momma crying with her head in her hands

       E                  B

Such a sad case so broken hearted

B

She say momma I got to go I gotta get out of here

I gotta get out of town

I'm tired of hanging around

        E                   B

I gotta roll on between the ditches

B

It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go

Round and round nobody knows

        E                  B

But the highway goes on forever

         E                 B

That old highway rolls on forever

B

Lord she never would have done it if she hadn't got drunk

If she hadn't started running with a traveling man

       E                                 B

If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances

B

She say daughter let me tell you bout the traveling kind

Eveywhere he's going such a very short time

         E                    B

He'll be long gone before you know it

         E                    B

He'll be long gone before you know it

        G#m                           F#

She say never have I known it when it felt so good

E                           B

Never have I knew it when I knew I could

G#m                          F#

Never have I done it when it looked so right

E

Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

SOLO

B

This is down in the swampland anything goes

It's alligator bait and the bars don't close

         E                      B

It's the real thing down in Louisiana

B

Did you ever a cajun when he really got mad

Really got trouble like a daughter gone bad

        E                      B

It gets real hot down in Louisiana

B

The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed

He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will

         E                   B

It ain't no time for lengthy speaches

            E                    B

There ain't no time for lengthy speaches

        G#m                           F#

She say never have I known it when it felt so good

E                                   B

Never  have I knew it when I knew I could

G#m                          F#

Never have I done it when it looked so right

E

Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

        G#m                           F#

She say never have I known it when it felt so good

E                                   B

Never  have I knew it when I knew I could

G#m                          f#

Never have I done it when it looked so right

E

Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

E

Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

B

It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go

Round and round nobody knows

That ain't no way to stop the water
