I'm gonna get up in the mornin',
Hit Highway 49
I'm gonna get up in the mornin',
Hit Highway 49
I'd be lookin' for my baby
Melvina down on my mind
First I'm gonna stop at the whiskey store,
I'm gonna buy me a jug o' wine
First I'm gonna stop at the whiskey store,
I'm gonna buy me a jug o' wine
I'm gonna hit ta' Highway
The Highway they call Highway 49
(Instrumental)
It'll be soon in the mornin'
When I go rollin' in Jackson Town
It'll be soon in the mornin'
When I go rollin' in Jackson Town
I'd been lookin' for Melvina
They said she can't be found
Melvina, my sweet woman
You know she stays on my mind
Melvina, my sweet woman
You know she stays on my mind
If I can't find that woman
I'm gonna sit down and drank my wine.
(Instrumental)
