Mary took to runnin? with a travelin? man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a sad case so broken hearted
She said momma I got to go, I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of town
I gotta roll on between the ditches
It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go
She said never have I known it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
This is down in the swampland anything goes
