Hard Travelin' Hootenanny

I been a-havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed
 I been a-havin' some hard travelin' way down the road
 I been a-havin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
 I been a-havin' some hard travelin', Lord
 I been ridin' them fast rattlers, I thought you knowed
 I been ridin' them flat-wheelers way down the road
 I been ridin' them blind passengers, dead enders, kickin' up cinders
 I been a-havin' some hard travelin', Lord
 I been a-hittin' some hard rock minin', I thought you knowed
 I been a-leanin' on a pressure drill way down the road
 Hammer flyin', air hose suckin',
 six foot of mud, and I sure been a-muckin'
 And I been a-hittin' some hard travelin', Lord
 I been a-hittin' some hard harvestin', I thought you knowed
 North Dakota to Kansas City way down the road
 Cuttin' that wheat, stacking that hay,
 and I'm tryin' to make about a dollar a day
 And I been a-havin' some hard travelin', Lord
 I been workin' at Pittsburgh Steel, I thought you knowed
 I been a-dumpin' that red-hot slag way down the road
 I been a-blastin', I been a-firin', I been a-pourin' red-hot iron
 And I been a-hittin' some hard travelin', Lord
 I've been a-layin' in a hard rock jail, I thought you knowed
 I been a-layin' out ninety days way down the road
 Damned old judge, he said to me, "it's ninety days for vagrancy"
 And I been hittin' some hard travelin', Lord, whoah!
