Hard Travelin' Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

I've been a havin' some hard travelin' I thought you know 

I've been a havin' some hard travelin' way down the road 

I've been a havin' some hard travelin' hard ramblin' hard gamblin' 

I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord 

Well I've been a ridin' them fast rattlers I thought you know 

I've been a ridin' them blind passengers way down the road 

I've been a ridin' them dead ends and flat wheelers kickin' up cinders 

I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord 

[ banjo - dobro ] 

Well I've been a layin' in a hard rock jeil I thought you know 

I've been a layin' there ninety days way down the road 

Mean old judge said to me it's ninety days for vagrancy 

I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord 

I've been a workin' at Pittsburgh Steel I thought you know 

I've been a dumpin' that red hot slag way down the road 

I've been a blastin' I've been firin' I've been a pourin' that red hot iron 

I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord 

[ banjo - fiddle ] 

I've been a hittin' some hard harvest and I thought you know 

North Dakota to Kansas City way down the road 

Cuttin' that wheat stackin' that hay tryin' to make about a dollar a day 

I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord 

I've been a workin' on Lincoln Highway I thought you know 

I've been a hitchin' on 66 way down the road 

Heavy load and worried mind lookin' for woman that's hard to find 

I've been a havin' some hard travelin' Lord
