Hit The Road, Jack

Lyrics: Percy Mayfield
Music: Percy Mayfield

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

Whoah woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go
That's right

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

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

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

Well
(Don't you come back no more)
Uh, what you say?
(Don't you come back no more)
I didn't understand you
(Don't you come back no more)
You can't mean that
(Don't you come back no more)
Oh, now baby, please
(Don't you come back no more)
What you tryin' to do to me?
(Don't you come back no more)
Oh, don't treat me like that
(Don't you come back no more)
