B
Lord Mary took to running with a travelin man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
       E                  B
Such a sad case so broken hearted

B
She say momma I got to go I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of town I'm tired of hanging around
        E                   B
I gotta roll on between the ditches

B
It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go
Round and round nobody knows
        E                  B
But the highway goes on forever

If she hadn't started running with a traveling man

Eveywhere he's going such a very short time

This is down in the swampland anything goes
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close

Did you ever a cajun when he really got mad
Really got trouble like a daughter gone bad

The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed
He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
