Chords for Cisco Houston - Hard Travelling (1960)

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Singing, the varied carols I hear.
Walt Whitman, a _ wandering man,
who had a good part of his life.
You know, the way I see it, a folk song is a way of singing out the news.
The news of a wedding or a murder. _
_ _ Good people or bad people.
It's a way of making a record of things that happened.
Things to remember out of a man's life.
And there are many sounds to it.
Work song, the blues, the mountain ballads. _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, I've been doing some hard traveling, I thought you'd know.
I've been doing some hard rambling way down that road.
Well, hard traveling, hard rambling, hard working and hard gambling.
And I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord.
_ I've been doing some hard rock mining, I thought you'd know, boys.
I've been leaning on a pressure drill way down that road.
Well, the hammer flying in the air, hole sucking in six feet of mud,
I sure been a-mucking.
I've been doing _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ some hard traveling way down that road. _ _
_ I've been pouring that red hot iron, I've been doing some hard traveling _
_ _ _ _ _ _ ninety days away down that road.
That mean old judge has said to me, it's ninety days for vagrancy,
and I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You know it, boys, from North Dakota to Kansas City, way down that road.
And that wheat and a stack of hay just trying to make about a dollar a day,
and I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord.
_ That Lincoln Highway, I thought you'd know.
I've been hitting that 66 way down the road.
Got a heavy load, got a worried mind, [Gm] I'm a-mucking.
