I Was Standing by the Wayside Lyrics

John Lee Hooker

I was standing on the wayside
Trying to flag myself a ride
I was standing on the wayside, wayside people
Just trying to flag myself a ride

I didn′t have no money
I was trying to get back home
It was storming and raining, storming and raining
And the wind began to blow, oh yeah
It was storming and raining
And the rain coming down, oh yeah
I didn't have no money
I was trying to get back home

That old highway looks so lonesome, so lonesome
In the evening when the sun go down
You know that highway looks so lonesome, so lonesome
In the evening when the sun go down
You be thinking ′bout your little wife back home
You wanna make it back home so bad

It was thundering and lightning, thundering and lightning
You know the wind began to blow
It was thundering and lightning
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
