I woke up this mo'nin
With my down south woman
On my mind
I woke up this mo'nin
With my down south woman
On my mind
Yes, some some of these mo'nins
Hoo, Lord, I'm gonna find
That woman a-mine
I'm gonna walk Highway 51
'Till I find Highway 49
I'm gonna walk Highway 51
'Till I find Highway 49
I've got a ninety pound, woman
Hoo, Lord, would ease my worried mind

'Beat it out, beat it out'

(instrumental & piano)

Now, get hip to what I tell you
Babe, an don't be nobody's fool
Now, get hip to what I tell you
Babe, an don't be nobody's fool
And when I walk back into town
Hoo, Lord, I won't be so easily ruled

I may be a long time comin'
But baby, please let me in
I may be a long time comin'
Baby, please let me in
And you tell yo' best man
Hoo, Lord, I'm back in town, again.
