John Lee Hooker Cuttin' Out lyrics

Hey, hey, hey
I'm leavin', leavin', leavin'
Won't be back no more
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

Cuttin' out this morning
Won't be back no more
Hey, hey
Won't be back no more

My woman told me, "Hit the road Johnny
Don't come back no more"
Packed my suitcase, went on down the line
I got down to the station with suitcase in my hand

The train was leaving
Oh, the train would leave, the train was leaving
I said, "Hold the train conductor, I ain't got time
Get a ticket, I got my money in my hand"


Paid my fare, the train started movin'
Paid my fare, when the train got movin'
Oh, don't stop rollin' 'til the whole state's outta sight
Whole state, outta sight, Lord, Lord, Lord, I feel so bad

Hey, I was sittin' way down inside
I was sittin' there cryin', cryin', cryin'
The train was movin', the train was movin'
Conductor told me, said, "Johnny stop cryin', stop cryin'"

Gon' take you away from here
Down the line, down the line, down the line, down the line
Woo, stop crying, stop crying, stop cryin', stop crying
Takin' you away from here, down the line
