Terraplane Blues - Rory Block

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

(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 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
