[verse 1: jimmy wakely]
headin’ down life’s crooked road
lots of things i never knowed
and because of me not knowin’, i now pine
trouble got in the trail
spent the next five years in jail
should have read that detour sign

[chorus]
detour, there’s a muddy road ahead
detour, paid no mind to what it said
detour, oh, these bitter things i find
should have read that detour sign

[spoken interlude: jimmy wakely]
one of our guests introduced this song in 1946. here is wesley tuttle to sing it for ya

[verse 2: wesley tuttle]
when i got right to the place
where it said “about face”
i guessed that all a’ my worries were behind
but the further i go
the more sorrow i know
should have read that detour sign

[chorus]
detour, there’s a muddy road ahead
detour, paid no mind to what it said
detour, oh, these bitter things i find
should have read that detour sign

[spoken interlude: jimmy wakely]
another very fine guest: a capitol recording artist that you all know and love, to sing another verse for you– merle travis!

[verse 3: merle travis]
when i got stuck in the mud
all my hopes dropped with a thud
and i guess that my heart strings are made of twine
had no willpower to get
from this hole that i’m in yet
should have read that detour sign

[chorus]
detour, there’s a muddy road ahead
detour, paid no mind to what it said
detour, oh, these bitter things i find
should have read that detour sign
