HELLHOUND ON MY TRAIL

I got to keep movin'
        I've got to keep movin'
        blues fallin' down like hail
        blues fallin' down like hail
Umm mmm mmm mmm
        blues fallin' down like hail
        blues fallin' down like hail
And the days keeps on worryin' me
        there's a hellhound on my trail
        hellhound on my trail
        hellhound on my trail
If today was Christmas Eve
        If today was Christmas Eve
        and tomorrow was Christmas Day
If today was Christmas Eve
        and tomorrow was Christmas Day
        spoken: Aow, wouldn't we have a time, baby?
All I would need my little sweet rider just
        to pass the time away, huh huh
        to pass the time away
You sprinkled hot foot powder, mmm
        mmm, around my door
        all around my door
You sprinkled hot foot powder
        all around your daddy's door, hmm hmm hmm
It keep me with ramblin' mind, rider
        eyery old place I go
        eyery old place I go
I can tell the wind is risin'
        the leaves tremblin' on the tree
        tremblin' on the tree
I can tell the wind is risin'
        leaves tremblin' on the tree,
        hmm hmm hmm mmm
All I need's my little sweet woman
        and to keep my company, hey hey hey hey
        my company


Notes: 1. Webster's defines "hellhound" as "a dog of hell, as Cerberus. in
                Greek ond Roman mythology, the three-headed dog guarding the
                gate of Hades."
            2. "DoctorPryor's Alleged Hot FootPowder-for burning or
                sprinkling" is still manufactured by Japo Oriental Incense Co.
                Chicago 21, Ill.
            3. The last "sweet" may sound like "sweet" is some ears, however,
                in context, it is unlikely that this is the case.
