I'm gon' get up in the mo'nin'

Hit the Highway 49

I'm gon' get up in the mo'nin

Hit Highway 49

I be lookin' for my baby

Melvina's down on my mind

First, I'm gon' stop at the whiskey store

I'm gonna buy me a jug-a wine

First, I'm gon' stop at the whiskey store

I'm gonna buy me a jug-a wine

I'm gon' hit the highway

They call, Highway 49

(Look out)

It'll be so early in the mo'nin'

When I go rollin' in Jackson town (down)

It'll be so early in the mo'nin'

When I go rollin' in Jackson town

I'll be 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 gon' sit down and drink my wine

~<br />
