Terraplane Blues

You gotta have these batteries charged

I'm gon' get down in this connection
Mr. Highway Man, please don't block the road
You hear me when I moan
Somebody's been runnin'
I even flash my lights, mama

Who been drivin' my Terraplane
Who been drivin' my Terraplane

I'm goin' heist your hood, mama
Now, you know the coils ain't even buzzin'
Yoo, you hear me weep and moan
When I feel so lonesome
Now for you since I been gone
Motor's in a bad condition
Got a short in this connection
But I'm cryin', please, please don't do me wrong
I got a woman that I'm lovin'
And when I mash down on your little starter
Who been drivin' my Terraplane
I'd said, "I'll flash your lights, mama
Keep on tanglin' with your wires
For you since I been gone?
And I'm booked and I got to go
I'm bound to check your oil

I'm goin' heist your hood, mama
Little generator won't get the spark
Please, please don't block the road
Now for you since I been gone
Your horn won't even blow"
Way down in Arkansas
I'm bound to check your oil
This horn won't even blow
My batteries down on this machine
'Cause she's reachin' a cold one hundred
Oh well, keep on tanglin' with these wires
I'm gon' get down in this connection
Hoo well, babe, it's way down below
