cherlene - 40 miles of mountain road lyrics

i walked forty miles of mountain road
with a worn out wheel and a load down low
i broke down and i’d be there still
but i had enough speed to make it over the hill
well i crossed the ridge over the top
seen a two log bridge with no time to stop
i can’t turn close, i can’t turn wide
so i left my body on the other side
i walked forty miles of georgia clay
and i seen diablo along the way
digging a grave with a pick and a shovel
i said, “i got no sympathy for you, devil”
i drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
i made a banjo from a old ham can
i’m going straight to h-ll when i leave this world
i’d rather be a possum than an old broke girl
i walked forty miles of mountain road
soothe my temper, soothe my soul
forty miles of mountain road
to get you in the middle and let you go home
i walked forty miles to the old crossroads
tried to buy back my soul
bet it all on just one roll
seen a pair of snake eyes looking cold
when you lose, it’s only fair
the lord don’t hear no gambler’s prayer
go tell it on the mountain now have you heard
h-ll broke loose devil’s outta work (x4)
i walked forty miles of mountain road
soothe my temper, soothe my soul
forty miles of mountain road
to get you in the middle and let you go home
i walked through the cactus to find a rose
for my baby, sweet and cold
six foot down and on his way
to meet st. peter at the gates
i walked forty miles of mountain road
soothe my temper, soothe my soul
forty miles of mountain road
to get you in the middle and let you go home
