Well this one is worries tonight oh true
Worries in the dance hall tonight
Worries in the dance hall I say

Hit the road Jack no wanna come back
No more, no more no more
Hit the road Jack no wanna come back no more

Well say I was born in April and christened in May
Sure I wanna see that shiny day
Hit the road Jack no wanna come back
No more no more
Hit the road Jack no wanna come back
No more no more hey

Drifting on a memory yeah
Ain't no place I'd rather be yeah
I said I'm drifting on a memory yeah
Ain't no place I'd rather be yeah
Then with you girl oh yes
Then with you girl

You na know, you na know, you na know
Say ya safe, you na know, you na know

You na know, you na know, you na know
Say ya safe, you na know, you na know

Sitting in a railroad station
With my suitcase in my hand
Going back where I came from
I've had more than I can stand
Not listening to a word they say
I know my aim, I know my destiny
I ain't gonna hang around, I'm going home
I'm going home
Going home
Where I came from

Look over yonder, tell me what do you see
Look over yonder, tell me what do you see
Just a cool persuasion
Just a cool persuasion
Just a cool persuasion
Alright alright alright
I'm tired playing all those games
Oh it seems I don't get time out anymore, oh baby
I'm tired of playing all those games
Oh it seems I don't get time out anymore, oh baby

So stop mess around, mess around, mess around
Mess around with me, oh baby
So stop play around, play around play around
Play around with me, oh baby

Gwan go long, gwan go gwan go long
