Well I'll get up in the morning : catch the Highway Forty‑Nine
Well well I'm going to look for little Malvina : ooo man don't say she can't be found
I got a long tall woman : live on Highway Forty‑Nine
Well well I get up in the morning : ooo Lord boys she's down on my mind
Malvina my sweet woman : she don't pay me no mind
You got poor Joe walking down woman : ooo Lord Highway Forty‑Nine
[I'm going to, if I] get up in the morning Malvina : I believe I'll dust my bed
I'm going down Highway Forty‑Nine : boys I'm going to be rocking to my head
If you ever get the blues : catch the Highway Forty‑Nine
Well Malvina my sweet woman : ooo Lord boys she don't pay me no mind
Soon this morning boys : I may roll in Jackson town
I done got tired of laying around : walking that Highway Forty‑Nine
I'm standing in Chicago mama : New Orleans on my mind
Malvina she's my sweet woman : she on Highway Forty‑Nine
