Highway 52
well moma said " Son before you go There's something I want you to do Promise me that you won't go wrong As you travel down Highway 52 " I am sittling on the banks of the Ohio river Sun rise kisses the dew Fox hounds run and the steam boat roll I'm sitting there on highway 52 High in the hills old West Virginia Kentucky painted so blue My road maps out, my shoes are made for walking I'll be walking down old highway 52 From the old Queen City to New Boston town Ironton and old Hanging rock I've made ever stop, I've played every station While travelin' there on Highway 52 So tell me my love, oh tell me my darlin' What are you going to do If you don't love me or care about me I'll be headin' on down highway 52 * Refrain You when it comes time for me to go I'll hang up my old walkin' shoes For the last old ride in that big white car As they haul me down old highway 52 * Refrain
