I been a-havin' some hard travellin', I thought you knowed,
                                      D7
I been a-havin' some hard travellin', way down the road,
G                    G7               C              C7
I been a-havin' some hard travellin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin',
D7                                  G
I been havin' some hard travellin', Lord.

I been a-workin' in a hard rock tunnel, I thought you knowed,
I been a-leanin' on a pressure drill, way down the road,
Hammer flyin', air hose suckin', six feet of mud, I sure been a-muckin'
I been havin' some hard travellin', Lord.

I been a-workin' that Pittsburg sttel, I thought you knowed,
I been workin' that red-hot slag, way down the road,
I been a-blastin', I been a-firin', I been a-duckin' red-hot iron,
I been havin' some hard travellin', Lord.
