Lyrics for Hell Hound On My Trail
I got to keep movin', I got to keep movin' Blues fallin' down like hail, blues fallin' down like hail Hmm-mmm, blues fallin' down like hail, blues fallin' down like hail And the days keeps on worryin' me There's a hellhound on my trail, hellhound on my trail Hellhound on my trail If today was Christmas Eve, if today was Christmas Eve And tomorrow was Christmas Day If today was Christmas Eve And tomorrow was Christmas Day Aw, wouldn't we have a time, baby? All I would need my little sweet rider just To pass the time away, huh-huh To pass the time away You sprinkled hot foot powder, mmm Mmm, around my door, all around my door You sprinkled hot foot powder All around your daddy's door, hmm-hmm-hmm It keep me with ramblin' mind, rider Every old place I go, every old place I go I can tell the wind is risin', the leaves tremblin' on the tree Tremblin' on the tree I can tell the wind is risin', leaves tremblin' on the tree Hmm-hmm, hmm-mmm All I need's my little sweet woman And to keep my company, hey, hey, hey My company
