I Was Standing by the Wayside - John Lee Hooker

I was standin' on the wayside

Tryin' to flag myself a ride

I was standin' on the wayside, wayside, people

And just tryin' to flag myself a ride

I didn’t have no money

I was tryin' to get back home

It was stormin' and rainin', stormin' and rainin'

And the wind began to blow, oh yeah

It was stormin' and rainin'

And the rain comin' down, oh yeah, yeah

I didn’t have no money

I was tryin' to get back home

That old highway looked so lonesome, so lonesome

In the evenin' when the sun goes down

You know that old highway looked so lonesome, so lonesome

In the evenin' when the sun goes down

You’ll be thinkn' 'bout your little wife back home

You wanna make it back home so bad

It was thunderin' and lightenin', thunderin' and lightenin'

You know the wind began to blow

It was thunderin' and lightenin'

You know the wind began to blow

I didn’t have no place, no place to lay my head

No place to lay my head, oh yeah, oh yeah
