Let Me Ride - The Allman Brothers band

Well now times got hard

And I didn't draw the card I needed

So I proceeded to bang it on down the line

Hitchhike turnpike

And if you got room won't you let me ride

Just as far as you're going

And lord knowing I'll be much obliged

There was a light rain falling

I started recalling how lonesome a man can be

Feeling a chill When over the hill

Came a brand new baby blue Cadillac

Stop on a dime

I threw my guitar in the back and I climbed inside

Big Blue eyes said "Hey boy don't you want a ride "

I Said to Birmingham Alabama

Or to Nashville Tennessee will do just fine with me

Don't you know what I mean

I'm coming from New Orleans

Mama won't you let me ride

Let me ride

Well now black fur coat diamond ring

Shining like something I ain't ever seen

My old guitar and a roadside bar

Walked in the door looking like a movie queen

There was a honky tonk jukebox hardwood floor

She said "I ain't ever seen nothing like this before "

I said "That's all right mama won't you let me ride "

On down to Birmingham Alabama

Or to Nashville Tennessee wiil do fine with me

Don't you know what I mean

I'm coming from New Orleans

Mama won't you let me ride

Mama let me ride

Won't you let me ride
