"Hit The Road Jack" lyrics

"Hit The Road Jack"
(originally by Ray Charles)

Hello, whoa, yeah, is that you?
Who is this?
Ah, ha-ha, Cornelius
Cornelius, yeah, oh Cornelius, listen
Listen, yeah, man, what's up?
I'm in trouble
My girl just told me to

Hit the road, Jack, and don't cha come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack, and don't cha come back
No more
Hit the road, Jack, and don't cha come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack, and don't cha come back
No more

Oh woman, oh woman, don't you treat me so mean
You're the meanest woman that I ever have seen
I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go

Hit the road, Jack, and don't cha come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack, and don't cha come back
No more

Now, baby, listen baby, don't you treat me this way
I'll be back on my feet some day
Don't care if you, do 'cause it's understood
You got no money. and you ain't no good
Well, I guess if she say so
I'll have to pack my things and go
That's right

Hit the road, Jack, and don't cha come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack, and don't cha come back
No more
What'd you say?

Hit the road, Jack, and don't cha come back
No more no more no more no more
Hit the Road Jack and don'tcha come back
No more

Hit the road, Jack, and don't cha come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack, and don't cha come back
No more

(Don't cha come back no more)
Well, that's the story
(Don't cha come back no more)
Uh, that's the story, I don't know what to do
I tell you, man, you really bummed me out, Cornelius
(Don't cha come back no more)
I ain't been this bummed out since 1957, man
(Don't cha come back no more)
I'm hip, I'm downtrodden, and don't miss under myself
(Don't cha come back no more)
Listen, my baby just kicked me out, and I, uh
(Don't cha come back no more)
(Don't cha come back no more)
Got no place to stay
Sure wish I could help ya, Cornelius
(Don't cha come back no more)
Oh, I thought I might come down there, I heard you got a big mansion
(Don't cha come back no more)
Uh, hold on, hey Ray, Ray, Cornelius says he wants to stay here for the weekend
(Don't cha come back no more)
Hey Wolf, my three minutes is just about up
(Don't cha come back no more)
Oh, I'm sorry
(Don't cha come back no more)
Uh, uh-uh, Cornelius, we can't, we can't handle it this weekend, uh
(Don't cha come back no more)
Oh, really? Certainly nice to hear from you man, bye!
Wolf, hello, Wolf, Wolf?
